This episode of The Vet Chat NZ features a new host, Sue Campbell, who is covering for Ellen while she is on maternity leave. Sue talks with Mike Shallcrass, Fonterra's Veterinary Programme Manager, about why efficiency is so critical for New Zealand's dairy industry. From improving reproductive performance and reducing disease, to harnessing accurate data and improving genetic merit, Mike shares practical ways vets can help farmers to improve efficiency and concurrently reduce emissions. Learn how market demands, greenhouse gas targets, and the “co-operative difference” are shaping the future of dairy — and why vets are perfectly placed to lead the change on farm. Packed with actionable insights, this is a must-listen for veterinary professionals wanting to stay ahead in an evolving industry.
