Dairy Women's Network (DWN) is welcoming AgriHealth as a new partner.
The New Zealand-owned animal health company, dedicated to supporting the veterinary profession and farming community, joins DWN to help empower farmers through education and connection.
Through the partnership, AgriHealth will deliver a series of workshops and webinars for DWN members, focusing on animal health topics, including mastitis, on-farm diagnostics, reproduction to herd health for cows & calves and productivity through on-farm efficiencies, supported by access to practical resources.
DWN chief executive Jules Benton says the partnership will strengthen the organisation's ability to support members with reliable animal health information, at a time when making good decisions on farm has never been more important.
“Animal health is a critical part of successful and sustainable dairy farming, and AgriHealth’s veterinary expertise will add real value to our members that can be applied immediately on farm," Benton says.
Meanwhile, Lyndsay Lawrence, head of marketing and technical at AgriHealth, says the two organisations' shared values of collaboration, growing knowledge, and enhancing farming businesses made partnering with DWN an easy decision.
“We’re excited to connect with DWN’s motivated and engaged members and to support them with practical animal health knowledge," Lawrence says.
“We love sharing knowledge and working alongside like-minded people,” she says. “Being part of the DWN community allows us to collaborate closely with farmers and industry groups to support better outcomes for herd health and productivity.”
The workshops and webinars will begin in the coming months. With events scheduled across key dairy regions to ensure as many farmers as possible can attend in person, with online options to complement the regional workshops.
