About Dairy Herd Services

Veterinary, farm management and business support services for dairy herds

CVC has seven veterinarians providing a wide variety of services to district dairy farmers. These services range from standard herd health procedures on individuals within a herd, and at the herd level, through to more advanced farm management systems support. All of the dairy vet team have extensive experience, not only in years within veterinary practice, but also specific to our region.

The work we do with dairy farmers and their herds includes:

• Individual animal medicine, lameness and reproductive management
• Herd pregnancy testing – both manual and ultrasound examination (latest BCF scanner)
• Herd reproductive performance analysis and planning
• Milk quality and mastitis investigations and risk management
• Herd level disease investigation and prevention
• Transition cow management, troubleshooting and planning
• Feedbase analysis and planning
• Farm business analysis and HR planning

Our CVC software systems are utilised for analysis of on farm records through both the Mistro program (Mastitis Focus Report) and Dairy Data (reproductive planning/Fertility Focus Report). We also employ tools and resources in our dairy services from the following National Dairy Australia programs: Countdown, InCalf, Grains2Milk and The People in Dairy.
