Adding value for farmers through herd health plans

Abstract

Letters web examples, will produce a competent practitioner. A note of caution: internationally, the veterinary profession has failed to address these issues fully, and ERM practitioners will inform you that ERM is not embedded in business culture for many of the same reasons-a failure of decision makers to appreciate and understand the information given. However, ERM is more widely accepted than herd health planning even though it rather embarrassingly failed to spot the financial turmoil of 2008. Possibly there is a lot we can learn from ERM.

Flock health planning: How to move from a plan to a reflective planning process in Northern Irish sheep flocks?

“…The required in‐depth vet–farmer understanding cannot be achieved by an FHP being developed or reviewed in the cursory off‐farm manner, at times without any veterinary–farmer consultation, as described by many of the participants of this study. Veterinarians explained how these consultations brought into clear focus the specific, individual needs of the flock, permitting them to see livestock, their housing and other facilities in situ (Selle et al, 2014), as well as observation of the technical husbandry skills of the farmer (Hall et al, 2022), thus reinforcing the centrality of such interaction in the FH planning process (Bellet et al, 2015; Lovatt, 2004, 2015; Noble et al, 2020; Sibley, 2000; Walster, 2012). Thus, the on‐farm consultation should enhance the veterinarian's ability to assess both health and welfare, addressing the concerns that welfare may be overlooked (Hubbard et al, 2007).…”
