Livestock Veterinary Associates PC is a Food Animal Veterinary Practice that is based at StockVets LLC in Rensselaer IN. Our practice includes extensive work with reproductive technology in bovine, caprine and ovine species. LVA also provides general practice services for bovine, caprine, ovine and porcine which include surgery and emergency services.
Repro work such as Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET), In Vitro Fertilization (Ovum Pick Up- cattle) (Laparoscopic Ovum Pick Up- goats), and Artificial Insemination (AI-cattle, Laparoscopic AI- goats). Our caprine flushing program is somewhat unique, as we are employing a non-surgical method of ET.
Students will have the opportunity to assist particularly with isoflurane gas and injectable anesthesia in the caprine reproductive program which is busiest from April through October along with January, with the least active times occurring in February and March. Students will also be able to observe and assist in all aspects of the procedures.
LVA is staffed currently by three veterinarians, three office staff, three embryologists/ vet assistants, and two herdsmen.
StockVets LLC is a fully equipped haul-in facility for all of the species served. This includes a surgery room, laboratories, bovine IVF facility and lab, and cattle obstetrical chute along with housing available for customer's donor cows and does, as well as a number of in-house recipient does.
LVA veterinarians also serve clients remotely with fully stocked trucks and trailers for remote caprine reproductive work. Dr. Rumsey is licensed in nine states and some road trips will be available for students to travel with our team. All housing and board will be provided.
