Welcome to our Animal Health section. New Zealand has a well established reputation of good animal health and welfare. We rely on our animals to make a living and their health and well being are critical to ensure we continue to produce quality food for ourselves and our customers both in New Zealand and overseas.
It is our responsibility to protect this image as many Nations are restricting imports of products from countries with poor animal health and welfare records. Our Animal Health section will contain articles and news relating to general Animal Health and Welfare in farming practice.
This page is very much community driven so if there’s anything you’d like to see included here please get in touch. Among the things we’d be delighted to receive are any of below:
Animal Health news and articles, events, bloggers, hints and tips, videos and photos.
If you’d like to have any of above published send your material to contribute@ruraltrader.co.nz
