The number of large animal veterinarians has declined. There are not enough
large animal veterinarians to serve the producers in this country. As food
producers move animals to more confinement to make treating them more
"effiicient", the animals become less healthy. Our food sources are in danger.
Veterinary students shy away from large animal work because the hours are
grueling, the practice models don't factor in emergencies that result in lost
time, money and sense of accomplishment. Veterinary students have student debt
that cannot be met by the salaries available to them as large animal doctors.
Animal chiropractors are trained to see their patients when they are well. The goal of animal chiropractic is to help animals remain well and produce better.
In studies chickens, pigs, dairy cattle and beef cattle that get chiropractic treatments
regularly save producers money and time.
Production animals are generally less well handled than those raised as pets or for competitions. While prize cattle raised for showing can be valuable for producers, the cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and chickens that are used for producing products for consumers often don’t get the same care. These animals are seldom handled by humans and can become more stressed when taken out of their routine, causing them to produce less milk, meat, or eggs.
Chiropractic care is becoming more common for show animals, as it makes them better competitors. However, we are finding that production animals, those raised for food, become less expensive to raise and easier to care for when they receive routine chiropractic care.
“I unloaded the cow at the processing plant and she calmly walked off the trailer and down the alleyway, like it was just another day,” reported Dr. Matt Salim of Archer, TX after delivering a custom cull cow to Hartness Cattle Company. Though the cow was removed from the herd she was calm as could be, noted the owner at Hartness. Dr. Salim is a doctor of chiropractic who is certified in animal chiropractic and food animal chiropractic.

In 2021 animal owners spent 32.2 billion dollars on care for their animals.
Of all the veterinary schools in the country, less than 1 % of the graduating
veterinarians were specifically trained in food animal production medicine. As
our country grows, the demand for food products increases. Yet the food
producers are left to medicate and treat their animals on their own, with
minimal training.
The "technicians" in the large feed lot facilities (these are known as Confined Food Animal Operations or CFAOs) are not doctors. They are left to make the decisions on what to give animals to prevent illness or to combat illness. Less is more is generally not their first thought.

What is chiropractic care for food animals?
Cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats and other farm animals are considered Food Animals. They produce products that become food sources for humans and for other animals. Milk, eggs, and meat.
The ranchers and farmers who care for these animals do so as a means to make money for their families. They also do this work to feed hundreds of thousands of other families with their products. When their work is easier and less expensive to produce the products others eat, it benefits the consumers with lower pricing.
If the techniques that help them to produce better products at lower prices also make the food products more healthy for the consumers, then everyone benefits.
The chiropractic adjustment is effective because it is specific and creates
stimulation more efficiently in the nervous system than any other modality.
Without specific training, it is not chiropractic. It is glorified molestation,
or massage. It doesn't fire into specific portions of the neocortex to address
specific issues. And it takes up more time producing waste products in the
animal. Without Food Animal Adjusting training, animal chiropractors are not
equipped to adjust animals of other species.
With recent research showing that food animal producers are saving money by
implementing routine chiropractic care, food animal producers have an increased
chance of raising a better product and saving their company money.
Even for the vegan, or vegetarian who considers raising animals for food
barbaric, this is a huge step toward better humane treatment and environments
for the animals who we owe our lives and livelihoods to.
Taking the food animal adjusting course for many of our doctors has created a
niche that is growing. Food animal chiropractors are in high demand. Our
graduates are scaling their practices and looking for trained doctors to help
meet that demand.
