The new Scandinavian Regional Investment Group (RIG) is currently led by Danish group, Dyrlæger & Ko.

Dyrlæger & Ko was founded in 2003 as a knowledge sharing network between 5 independent cattle vet practices. Since then it has grown to become the largest group of cattle vets in Denmark with 28 practices and 130 vets in all. Our vets are advising more than 1800 farms covering more than 65% of the Danish market which means we examine at least 368.000 cattle every year.

VetSalus is pleased to announce the establishment of a new Regional Investment Group (RIG) consisting of Scandinavian veterinary practices, currently led by the Danish Group, Dyrlæger & Ko. The new RIG will oversee the adaptation of VetSalus resources and the creation of novel initiatives focused on animal health, welfare and sustainable agriculture for the region.

Vet Sustain and VetSalus are opening registration for the next cohort of participants on their sustainability course for farm vets and paraprofessionals on Thursday 25th May.

A Veterinary Approach to Sustainable Food and Farming, the inaugural course from VetSalus in partnership with Vet Sustain, was officially launched in July 2022. The course has been designed to empower veterinary professionals working with farm animals to unlock their unique toolbox of skills and knowledge to help producers attain multiple sustainability objectives, for the benefit of animals under our care, rural communities, wildlife and the wider environment.

Our VetSalus NZ Project Manager and veterinarian Warren Webber attended the One Health Aotearoa Symposium in Wellington NZ, 6th & 7th December 2022. For those who may wonder, Aotearoa is the Māori indigenous word for New Zealand, the most popular translation being "land of the long white cloud". This refers to the cloud formations which helped early Polynesian navigators find the country.

VetSalus has recently completed an international project which aimed to assess dairy farmer attitudes to Animal Welfare. In collaboration with XLVets colleagues in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, a survey was developed and distributed to over 200 farmers. The United Kingdom results have now been analysed and a number of interesting points have emerged.

The CAVI Sustainable Livestock Production Conference was held at the Tullamore Court Hotel, County Offaly, Ireland on Wednesday 18th January. Sponsored by XLVets Ireland and MSD Animal Health, the event brought together senior figures from across the veterinary community to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the agricultural sector. VetSalus were kindly invited to join the speakers panel, with Rachel Hayton delivering an engaging talk entitled ‘Embedding Sustainability in Veterinary Practice’.
