They also lead poultry discussion groups in the UK and represent the poultry industry in European meetings.
We perform post mortems, farm visits and laboratory tests in our own laboratory which offers reliable, fast results which allows the veterinarian to act quickly in case of a disease outbreak. We also process samples for salmonella test in accordance with the National Control Plan. The broiler health plans are tailored to each individual farm in order to improve health, welfare and productivity.
Our client base include large integrators and independent broiler producers which benefit of a personalised 24/7 service. In addition, we offer training courses to producers willing to increase their knowledge in different aspects of broiler health and production.
We are an approachable team, with a “hands on” ethos. Our aim is to provide the highest standard of customer service to our clients independently of their size.
What are the benefits of pre arranged packages?
These packages allow you to budget in advance for veterinary and laboratory work and they also help you to save money in comparison with the same work done individually through the year.
The packages are only available to clients of Minster Vet Practice. We are not able to provide these packages to flocks that are not under the supervision of the Minster Veterinary Practice.
