 Float Tank Service

  • We provide float tank service for down and injured cattle.
     
  • Floating takes advantage of the cow's natural bouyancy, and reduces the effort needed for a sick or injured cow to rise.
     
  • By enabling the cow to stand, serious muscle damage can be avoided and many cows that would otherwise need to be euthanized can go on to have productive lactations.
     
  • Calling to have your cow floated early (within the first 6-8 hours of being down) will have the best success rate.
     
  • Cattle are examined on the farm to identify the presence of injuries, gain a treatment history, and obtain blood samples that will be analyzed in our in house diagnostic lab.  If specific treatments are indicated, it can be initiated early, again increasing our likelihood of success.
     
  • Cattle are loaded into the float tank on the farm.
     
  • Cattle are then hauled to our large animal facility and the floating process begins.
