What can we do for you?

Our Annual RVM Consult is our starting point when working with you and your farm. During this consult we do not only decide on your treatment plans and regimes, we also format your Animal Health Plan that is set up to support you throughout the season with timed reminders for key animal health events and consultations. This consult also gives us the opportunity to inform you of important upcoming changes in the dairy industry and what they mean for you as well as the perfect time to discuss your goals and ambitions for the coming season(s).

We aim to work with you in a manner that is suitable and satisfactory for you and your farming business, using strong and open communication lines. Please always feel free to get in touch with any questions, comments and concerns.
