Services
At Emerald Veterinary Health we endeavour to provide our clients with everything that their pig farming businesses require. A summary of these services are below. If however you have specific requirements that are not listed below, please feel free to contact us
Training
Whether classroom based in-person, online or on-farm we can provide your staff with the training you need.
We have 15 years of experience in hosting training sessions and presentations both directly and via AHDB and can cover all aspects of pig management and production. These can be tailored specifically to your requirements. We are able to offer these completely independently of veterinary servicing/supply.
Because we have the hands-on practical know-how, this training does not need to be confined to the classroom, we are happy to conduct training in-situ, on your own farm, including post-mortem training and sow service/AI training and more. We find this type of training to be extremely effective to help build the knowledge and confidence of the farm staff team.

Research and Development
We have the expertise to assess your business and offer creative solutions for how R&D can benefit your pig farming enterprise.
Many large pig producers are either unaware of R&D tax credit system or haven't made use of the benefits that it potentially offers them to increase yields, maximise efficiency and boost profits. We have carried out successful trial work to offer both improvements and tax savings to our clients.
R&D work can be carried out whether regular serviced clients or not. We can both carry out the practical on-farm trial works as well as the design and associated paperwork.
To discuss this further and find out what we can do to assist your business, please do get in touch.
Farm visits
We service our clients with quarterly farm-assurance inspections as well as routine farm productivity audits and assessments to those clients who request this.
We are also able to carry out extensive breeding and service protocol reviews to trouble-shoot productivity issues. We have good experience in being able to assess, diagnose and implement improvements to directly improve the productivity statistics.
Our approach is flexible and we always look to deliver the requirements of our clients.
Innovation
We are excited to have been involved from very early days with some innovative technology and products that are being trialled and used in the UK for the first time, including a pen-side testing initiative that saw one of our clients be the first pig farm in the UK to have on-farm testing carried out for PRRS and Flu using the new technology. Results are available in just 30 minutes.
We actively seek the latest in techniques, products and technology that we feel could benefit our clients businesses.
If you would be interested in being part of any trial work, or discussing what new technology could potentially benefit your farming business, please get in touch to discuss further.
Product supply
We offer our existing clients continuous supply of a full range of the products they require, including all vaccines, hormones, antibiotics, disinfectants and sundry supplies. All products are delivered directly meaning that we are able to be in direct control of delivering a first class service rather than relying on contracted couriers or third parties. It is our goal as a company to be extremely price sensitive as we understand our clients profitability is the key to long term success for both ourselves and the industry.
