Shane McDermott

A couple of weeks ago we visited the McDermott family in Co Galway. They are an expanding dairy herd and family farm. Shane has been the chief calf rearer for the last number of years. Getting up before school and then on his return from school attends calves again. They had lots of challenges in the past and particularly in 2020 with calf scour and diarrheoa. They started like many farmers using Precision Microbes to help calves recover from scour and diarrheoa. Using a protocol of 60mls daily orally for 5-7 days. With very sick calves they would use 60mls twice daily for the first 3 days. Seeing the product working well they went to long-term feeding of 30ml daily from birth. They have seen a transformation in calf health this spring with this protocol. Like many farmers, they are looking at building new calf facilities and focused on continual improvement post-expansion. It was quite inspiring to hear Shane’s story and his dedication to his calves.
