Surgical thread, also known as sutures, is not typically used on dairy farm animals as a regular part of their care or treatment. Sutures are primarily used in surgical procedures performed by veterinarians to close wounds or incisions after surgeries. However, there may be instances where dairy farm animals require sutures due to injuries or specific medical conditions. In such cases, the type of surgical thread used will depend on factors such as the size and location of the wound, the animal species, and the veterinarian's preference. Common types of surgical thread for veterinary use include absorbable sutures (e.g., Vicryl, PDS) and non-absorbable sutures (e.g., nylon, silk). It is important for a veterinarian or animal health professional to determine the specific surgical thread to be used based on the individual animal's needs.
