Not all medicines are created equal

A VetEnt panel of NZ vets devotes significant time to ensure the medicines and products we use have been selected because they are safe, effective and do what they are designed to do. The products that the group chooses to support are ones that our vets know work. We have selected product suppliers that provide high-quality technical support and continue to invest in developing new and better veterinary medicines and products we all benefit from.

Related Agri-companies

Veterinary Enterprises Group Ltd is the parent company. A number of our services are unique to our industry, and are of value to farmers and vet practices outside the VetEnt group of NZ vets. The following companies run as stand-alone entities:

FarmCare (formerly AgriNetworks Limited) 

FarmCare provides a full suite of advisory services for the analysis, guidance and optimisation of your farm’s performance. It represents the recent coming together of AgriNetworks Ltd and PureMilk Mastitis Consultantcy Ltd.

StockCare 

The intelligence powerhouse of sheep and beef best practice, the team delivers StockCARE®, a systematised farm improvement programme to sustainably improve performance, productivity and profitability through encouraging understanding of the key drivers of farm business. A disciplined approach to the collection and utilisation of information, along with detailed NZ sheep and beef benchmarking statistics, gives farmers the confidence to implement change management, overseen by top farm consultants.  

The remarkable above-average stock performance that has resulted from farms participating in the farm consultant programme has led to unique international export supply chain opportunities for StockCARE® participants.

The StockCare team also spearheads advanced annual training programmes for VetEnt sheep and beef vets in NZ. SotckCare is led by veterinarians Chris Mulvaney and Don MacColl, who have a combined experience of over 40 years’ involvement with sheep and beef farmers throughout New Zealand.

PureMilk   

PureMilk offers a New Zealand-wide mastitis consultancy service to farmers and NZ vets. We carefully analyse the milking process, from the bacteria to the cow, the equipment to the people using it, and provide independent, expert guidance and a tailormade programme to reduce mastitis and significantly improve milk quality.

Milk production is now far different from years past. The world demands greater transparency in process, and the highest quality product. The global push to reduce reliance on antibiotics in production animals requires the modern farmer to focus on prevention of mastitis rather than detection and subsequent treatment with medications.

The PureMilk programme provides experienced independent guidance for the best management of mastitis. We assess the entire milking process to provide a precise action plan unique to the farmer. It is not about selling drugs or equipment. It is about expert analysis and providing a detailed plan to achieve success. The end result is simple: improved milk quality from source to processor- all to the greater advantage of the farmer and the New Zealand dairy industry as a whole.
