Herd Health Services
Herd Health monitoring and planning is the singularly most important thing we can do to promote high standards of health, welfare and productivity. For this reason, we believe that general herd health programs are good, but only as the starting point for developing a program for a specific herd.
A herd specific program requires knowledge and monitoring of the following areas:
- Vaccination program
- Disease biology (Veterinarian)
- Production cycle management (Producer)
- Housing
- Herd density
- Purchasing policies
- Quarantine policies
- Nutrition
- Environment
- Management practices
- Hygiene
- Biosecurity measures
- Pre-breeding
- Pre-farrowing
- Piglets
- Nursery - grow - finish
The success of the program is also dependent on the continual re-examination of the program to integrate new information as it becomes available. We therefore completely customize our Herd Health Services and visit schedules.
