Sheep

The Vet Clinic Wairarapa is particularly proud of our long-standing and close involvement with the sheep industry in Wairarapa.

Our Sheep Services at a Quick Glance:

Sheep production and medicine has come a long way in the past 50 years. The Vet Clinic Wairarapa are proud to have been part of numerous practical on-farm management improvements:

Introduction of vaccination programmes with vaccination against diseases such as clostridial infection (blood poisoning), salmonella, campylobacteriosis, toxoplasmosis.
Introduction of anthelmintic and combination drenches as well as mineralised drenches.
Disease control programmes such as earlier brucellosis vaccination of rams are now replaced by brucellosis monitoring and eradication programmes.
Some of the first cases of drench resistance were reported by our veterinarians, in both sheep and goats.
Trial work for many drug companies, investigating efficacies and safety of many of the vaccines, drenches and dips available. This is very precise work but gives us an insight into how well certain products work and gives us the confidence to include them into Animal Health Programmes.
Regular attendance of Sheep Vet Conferences both within NZ and abroad. With our intense involvement in our local sheep industry, our vets often present papers at these conferences.
Development of Animal Health Plans to ensure the correct timing and use of all animal health products, as well as incorporating management and husbandry procedures for efficient and effective farming.

Sheep are the cornerstone of pastoral farming in Wairarapa. The Vet Clinic Wairarapa vets are passionate about sheep and sheep production.

What can we do for you?

Our Annual RVM Consult is our starting point when working with you and your farm. During this consult we do not only decide on your treatment plans and regimes, we also format your Animal Health Plan that is set up to support you throughout the season with timed reminders for key animal health events and consultations. This consult also gives us the opportunity to inform you of important upcoming changes in the sheep industry and what they mean for you as well as the perfect time to discuss your goals and ambitions for the coming season(s).
