Urinary health for livestock

Online pharmacy sales of urinary tract and waste elimination products for livestock are a practical and effective solution for health-conscious livestock farmers. This option enables them to obtain the products they need in just a few clicks, without having to go anywhere.

Problems related to the urinary tract and waste elimination in farm animals can have serious consequences for their health. Poor hygiene, inadequate feed and poor-quality water can lead to urinary tract infections, kidney stones, kidney failure and digestive disorders.

It is therefore essential to have the products needed to prevent or treat these problems. Thanks to online pharmacy sales, breeders can easily find the products best suited to their needs, be they food supplements, medicines or hygiene products.

Online pharmacy sales also offer a significant economic advantage, as products are often offered at attractive prices, without having to bear the costs of travel or storage. What's more, delivery is often rapid, enabling us to respond quickly to pets' needs in an emergency.

The primary function of urine is to eliminate body waste and toxic products that have accumulated in the blood. Itensures the body's equilibrium by regulating the quantities of water and minerals eliminated. Find urinary tract and elimination treatments in our veterinary department.

In short, online pharmacy sales of products for the urinary tract and elimination of waste in farm animals represent a practical, economical and effective solution for breeders concerned about the health of their animals. It's a wise choice for ensuring animal welfare and optimizing farm profitability.

Anatomy and function of the urinary system

The urinary system of farm animals comprises the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. This system performs several vital functions:

  • Elimination of Metabolic Waste: The kidneys filter the blood to eliminate toxins and waste in the form of urine.
  • Regulation of Hydration: Managing water and mineral levels in the body is essential for maintaining water balance.
  • Maintaining homeostasis: The urinary system helps regulate blood pH and electrolyte concentrations, which are essential for cellular function.

A failure in any of these functions can lead to serious urinary disorders, affecting the general health and productivity of animals.

Main urinary disorders

Urolithiasis

Urolithiasis, or the formation of urinary calculi, is one of the most common urinary problems in livestock, particularly cattle, sheep and goats. These stones, composed of minerals such as calcium, phosphate or oxalate, can obstruct the urinary tract, causing pain, urine retention and, in severe cases, bladder rupture.

Urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) generally result from the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in the bladder or urethra. These infections cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary pain and sometimes blood in the urine. They are often secondary to inadequate hygiene or trauma to the urinary tract.

Renal failure

This pathology, often linked to chronic intoxication or infection, is characterized by an inability of the kidneys to effectively filter toxins from the blood. Symptoms include reduced urine production, lethargy and loss of appetite.

Urinary retention

Urinary retention is common in castrated males, particularly sheep and goats. It may be caused by spasms or mechanical blockages in the urethra, requiring rapid intervention.

Risk factors

Urinary disorders in farm animals are influenced by several factors:

  1. Unbalanced diet: Diets rich in minerals, such as calcium or phosphate, favor the formation of urinary calculi. Insufficient hydration increases urine concentration, favoring the development of pathologies.
  2. Hygiene and environment: Soiled or poorly drained floors increase the risk of bacterial infections. Moist bedding encourages the proliferation of pathogens.
  3. Physiological conditions: Young animals or those castrated at an early age are more susceptible to urinary blockages. Lactating females are also vulnerable due to their high water requirements.
  4. Housing and pasture management: Prolonged periods without access to clean water or suitable pasture increase the risk of dehydration and urinary disorders.

Prevention and Management

Food management

A balanced diet is essential to prevent urinary disorders. Mineral intake must be adapted to the specific needs of the species and production. Excesses of calcium, phosphorus or magnesium should be avoided. In addition, incorporating fiber-rich feed helps dilute urine and reduce the risk of urinary calculi.

Optimal hydration

Constant access to clean, fresh water is essential. Adequate hydration promotes urine dilution and the regular elimination of metabolic waste products, reducing the risk of stone formation and infection.

Hygiene and layout

Regular maintenance of bedding and resting areas limits exposure to pathogenic bacteria. Soils must be well drained to avoid the formation of muddy areas where infectious agents proliferate.

Monitoring and early detection

Careful observation of urinary behavior is essential for early detection of abnormalities. Signs to look out for include difficulty in urinating, prolonged straining, blood-tinged urine or reduced urine production.
