💧 Hydration Matters – Here’s Where the Rubber Meets the Rumen! 💧

We’re kicking off a short series on cow hydration and how to use SELEKT nutritional products and equipment to get essential fluids into the gut – fast, safely, and effectively.

🎥 Here’s a quick teaser video showing how to safely insert the SELEKT equipment – featuring our very own Dr Mel. More detailed videos and tips will follow in the coming days, so keep an eye out!

Massive thanks to Fuzzy Wuzzy Farming – John and Stephanie Glass – for hosting a great on-farm session, and to Agilis for supporting the day.

If hydration issues are something you’re facing on-farm, or if you have any questions about how SELEKT can help, chat with your vet. This really is one of the foundations of overall animal health.

Kaipara Farm Vets are excited to announce Melanie Palmer - Our New Vet who has joined the KFV team for the start of 2025.

Introducing Melanie:

I have recently returned to the area after spending a year at Massey University teaching the final year vet students. Farm vet by heart and trade for 8 years with a passion for goats and dairy cows. I am eager to help you with your lifestyle block, having gained some experience with alpaca and sheep.
Personally, I am a bit of a hobby farmer just having started my own stud herd of Nigerian Dwarf milking goats. You would have seen me around with my brightly coloured hair and/or colourful gumboots, as well as a cute little Italian greyhound or 6 at the beach.
