Mastitis in Dairy Cattle

At LWFVS believe that every farmer is capable of managing mastitis and milk quality to a high level in their herd. 

We also believe that managing mastitis should not break the bank!

We have developed a low cost milk-culturing process which gives you all of the information you need to make informed decisions for your cows.

Lisa and Jolanda have a high level of experience and skill in the practical management of mastitis and can help you to make decisions which not only improve your milk quality, but also improve the outcomes for the cows. 

Lisa has a Masters degree in Veterinary Medicine and is accredited by the National Mastitis Advisory Committee to provide mastitis services for Fonterra.
