Dairy

OUR APPROACH

New Zealand is world renowned for its dairy industry - and to achieve such repute you need happy healthy cows. But our vets don’t just care for your animals, we care for you and your farm, working with you day and night, to achieve your goals. 

Dairy is our passion and our team each have their own strengths, working as a team for a whole farm approach. Whether it be general farm management and animal wellbeing or specific topics such as mastitis, we have the knowledge and experience to help you get the most out of your herd. 

While we are here in the rain or the sun for sick cows and calving, we also like to be one step ahead. We work with you to problem solve and prevent disease such as BVDcalf scours or clostridial disease. We can also devise whole farm animal health plans, incorporating reproductive services, lameness management and parasite control. We can advise on current industry issues such as Mycoplasma bovis.

We are firm believers in supporting the local community and supporting successful and sustainable farm practices to add value to our country’s strong agricultural economy.
