ProDairy promotes cow health, welfare and production.
ProDairy promotes cow health, welfare and production. Our proactive approach to dairy systems with a focus on preventative health allows monitoring of disease status within a herd. Early identification of animal health issues provides the best opportunity for treatment with minimal impact on profitability. ProDairy treatment protocols guide the usage of all prescription medicines under the supervision of your Herd Veterinarian.
We can provide our ProDairy Partners with competitively priced products due to the scale of our business and national network of clinics. Finally, our service programs have been designed with farmers in mind. They have been extensively road-tested to deliver value and improved efficiency on-farm.
