Regulations coming in 2017

As we approach the end of the year there are two approaching regulations we here at New Pittsburg Large Animal Clinic would like to remind our producers about.  The first is the ban on tail docking which goes into effect January 1, 2017.  After that time it will be illegal in the state of Ohio for dairy producers to routinely dock the tails of their animals without a medical need.  Broken tails or other situations where removing the tail is deemed medically necessary by a veterinarian are still allowed so long as the tail is removed by the veterinarian.
