We provide a computerised recording service for our dairy farmers that allows analysis
and an early warning of poor fertility and disease. This also fulfils the requirement
for disease recording as a part of the National Dairy Farm Assurance Scheme.
We are committed to the farming sector and have contributed in many various aspects
of frontline research in the past five years that has made improvements in the health
of dairy cows and profitability of dairy farming (see link to research).
We also perform duties on behalf of DEFRA including TB testing both routine and pre-movement.
We carry out a wide range of farm consultancy work.
The specialist who carries out much of this work, Martin Green, has been a dairy
practitioner since 1987 and is one of the very few vets to hold the prestigious RCVS
Diploma in Cattle Health and Production.
