Vaccination and medication programmesLet Avivet design a vaccination and medication programme that recognizes the unique challenges your birds face every day. Insurance vaccines and Assurance vaccines – read about a novel concept in vaccination planning. In the area of medication supply, we ensure that clients have access to the most suitable formulations available.
Nutritional DiagnosticsAlthough diet formulation is best entrusted to a professional nutritionist, nutritional diagnostics focuses on situations where birds are not performing to expectations and the complex linkages between infectious disease, nutritional inadequacy and toxic agents need to be unraveled.
Avivet also maintains a database of tropical feed ingredients to make best use of local ingredients in low-cost alternate rations.
Auditing and evaluation servicesNeil has a JASANZ auditing qualification that is put to use in the following areas: Ruminant Protein Control ProgrammesThe opportunities afforded by the dairy boom, has resulted in feed mills wanting to meet this demand, whilst continuing to offer the poultry customers the benefits of animal proteins in their diets. We can help you through the process.
Feed Mill AccreditationAuditing to the New Zealand Feed Manufacturer’s Association’s standards aimed at ensuring mills meet customer RMP supplier requirements. Salmonella monitoring and control programmes Risk Management programmes and food safetyNeil Christensen became an evaluator of risk management programmes under New Zealand’s Animal Products Act 1999, to ensure that clients make the most of what is an unavoidable compliance requirement.
