Our Animal Care Commitment Contract has a focus on Animal Handling. Through education of farm staff and our day-to-day working relationship with you and your animals, you will develop skills that help you understand how animals understand humans and recognize the actions and attitudes that help facilitate comfortable housing and stress free environments.

Education is a core value of our veterinary team. Written standard operating practices have been developed by our team for our clients in many areas of management, and are available to them through their client access on our website.
Veterinarians can help train management and front-line employees in proper calving pen protocols, newborn care, milking parlor procedures, animal behavior, animal-handling techniques and early disease diagnosis to minimize and eliminate herd incidence of leukosis, Johnes, Neospora and BVD.
Our goal is optimal animal health.
More intensive agriculture does increase the risk of pathogen transfer between and within farms. We provide sound biosecurity practices to protect your farm during visits and tours.
Further, our team is very involved in the management and vaccination protocols that target protection against infectious diseases such as IBR, BVD and Clostridials. We also provide effective production limiting diseases control strategies; how to minimize and eliminate herd incidence of leukosis, Johnes, Neospora and BVD.
Our goal is optimal animal health.
Animal health and animal welfare are synonymous in our minds. This topic is contained in our Animal Care Commitment Contract. Our team understands and supports the science that provides the foundation for the Canadian Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, and utilizes those standards to educate and assist in assessments on working farms. Our veterinarians provide assessments in locomotion scores, body condition scores and other indices for industry assessment requirements, and prioritize education for all in the process.

Our service is to producers whose primary products are milk and meat; our producers want the highest standard of product to leave their farms for the consumer, and rely on our veterinary laboratory to provide diagnostic support and assistance.
- Milk Culture and Sensitivity
When mastitis occurs, our focus is both on limiting the time of the infection through targeted therapy, but also to identify the source of the pathogen in order to minimize future exposure and risk to the cows. Our lab cultures the milk from an infected quarter to identify the pathogen, and then processes that pathogen further to identify which therapies would most likely be effective.
- Antibiotic residue testing
When animal antibiotic treatments occur to mitigate disease, our standard of excellence demands that no residue remain when the food goes to consumers. Supported by CFIA withdrawal protocols, our clinic also provides supportive antibiotic residue testing.
Education is a core value of our veterinary team, as is accountability to each other and to the requirements of the Canadian Quality Milk (CQM) programs on farm.
Written information to guide drug use and withdrawal commitments are first steps to ensuring residue free products.
