Dairy Management & Nutrition
Our veterinary consultants guide clients through each management step, establishing management protocols in all areas of production medicine with emphasis on calf and heifer health, milk quality, reproductive performance and analysing feed inputs and total mixed ration (TMR) deliverables to optimize best value with quality health, farm profitability and providing a quality end product for the consumer.
Without minimizing individual animal care, herd care and production medicine forge the greatest impact on animal health. Generating strategic management advice and initiating best management practices for farm staff promote the level of care on farm.
