Veterinarians at Perry Vet are able to create specific job descriptions for herd personnel, creating a clear understanding of what is expected. We teach employees proper procedures for on-farm tasks which enables an employee to be successful at his or her position. Specific and proper training of medication administration, medication handling, animal handling, and animal evaluation are part of the training process. Training manuals can be created to use as new employees join the operation. Veterinarians at Perry Vet can assist in developing proper training manuals.

Monitoring Herd Performance

Perry Vet has created a unique record benchmarking program that takes on-farm data and looks at key management areas on-farm. This data is also compared with other well-managed regional dairies. Comparing the information on the benchmark program can highlight weak areas or bottlenecks facing the operation.

Translation Services

The language barrier has become a huge issue with the influx of Hispanic labor. Getting the smallest tasks accomplished becomes frustrating and greatly limits efficiency if translation is not used properly. Perry Vet has in-house access to a translator who can be used to help facilitate communication between owners, managers and their Hispanic labor force. Whether translating a milker meeting, a herd person training or teaching Spanish to English speaking workers, Perry Vet can help make the language barrier less of a problem.
