Veterinarians play an important role in supporting their farmers to reduce emissions on farm through improvements in animal efficiency. While much work by vets and farmers has already been happening on farm to improve animal efficiency for some time, we need to shift the dial more quickly, as the focus on emissions increases globally. This webinar covers the first half of our recent vet roadshow content, looking at the what, why and how of emissions and on farm efficiency. It looks at the role of vets, and how vet are well placed with existing tools and knowledge to add huge value to their farmers in this space.

Following our webinar introducing Fonterra’s ZincCheck testing, veterinarians told us they were really keen to learn additional tips on how to conduct effective on-farm zinc supplementation investigations.
