Veterinarian Ensures Cows Are Healthy, HappyAugust 25, 2014 Follow Veterinary Practice News on Twitter at @vetpetnews. Every veterinarian knows that the best dairy products come from healthy cows. And the happier the cows are, the more milk they produce. Rob Farruggio, DVM treats cows at dairy farms in Wisconsin to make sure they are both healthy and happy. He checks them, does ultrasounds on those that are pregnant and uses monitors to keep track of how many steps they take, how many pounds of milk they have and even if they’re in heat. See how all of this and more leads to healthier, happier cows in this VPN Video of the Week.
“Charlie Bucket” Goes From Chocolate Factory to FarmAugust 18, 2014 Follow Veterinary Practice News on Twitter at @vetpetnews. As a child, Peter Ostrum, DVM had theatrical aspirations. He performed in the local theater and landed his first role as Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The iconic film based on the book by Roald Dahl would not only be Dr. Ostrum’s first movie, but also his last. Although he enjoyed the experience and remembers it fondly, it was the time he spent working on a farm afterward that had the biggest impact on him. As he says in the video, when he saw the veterinarian that came to the farm he was working on, he thought, “This guy’s got the greatest job in the world.” See how Ostrum went from film sets to farms in this VPN video of the week.
Good Pizza Starts With Healthy CowsAugust 11, 2014 Follow Veterinary Practice News on Twitter at @vetpetnews. The best pizza I ever had was in Milan, Italy. That was also where I had the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten, but that’s a whole other story. While it had nothing to do with the cheese, sometimes that’s exactly what can make or break the pizza. Merry Water Farms in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is home to 1,300 milking cows. The milk those cows produce is delivered to Grande Cheese where it’s made into mozzarella for pizza shops nationwide. But good cheese has to come from good milk, and in order to ensure that the milk is good, the cows that it comes from must be checked and looked after properly. This video of the week follows Tom Strause, DVM, as he conducts a herd check at Merry Water Farms. Watch to see where good pizza starts.
