Chemvet Newsletter Volume 15: Autumn 2012

16 Apr, 2012

NSW Floods

Firstly, our thoughts go out to all those affected by the floods in NSW. It seems as though every time I sit down to write a newsletter there has been some sort of major disaster confronting those on the Land. Hopefully this will be the last one for a while(!!) and that affected properties are now getting back to some sort of normality.

Beef Expo 2012

Chemvet has a stand (No. 37) in the Robert Schwarten Pavilion and Ron and I look forward to catching up with all of our customers who make it along to this fantastic triennial event.

NLIS Readers

We are now selling well priced Swiss made Datamars NLIS Tag readers. These are ideal for getting you records up to date for EU accreditation and tech support is only a phone call away. We are in the process of evaluating a race reader from the same supplier. Click here to read more.

Foot Abscess in Sheep

Last year we supplied a special form of our Vetmec Mineral Mix to the NSW DPI, high in Iodine and Zinc, to dose mobs of heavily pregnant crossbred ewes to investigate as to whether this supplementation may assist in the reduction of cases of foot abscess. (an absolute scourge in some flocks over recent times). Results to date have been encouraging and several more flocks have trialled this product this year.

Vetmec F – Great News

  • At long last we have obtained APVMA approval for a nil milk withholding on our Vetmec F meaning it can now be used in lactating dairy cattle – great news for our dairy clients in liver fluke areas
  • To facilitate this there has been a slight change in solvents which has meant that the product is also ‘thinner’ and goes through the gun more easily which is also great news especially on those cold days when the previous formulation tended to get a bit ‘thick’ and hard to push through the gun.

Milford Track

Ruth and I completed the Milford Track (in the South Island of New Zealand) in early March and I thoroughly recommend it to all of those who have not walked it. The weather was very kind (the rainfall in Fiordland is 240+ inches – 20 feet!) and the Beech forest and wilderness scenery is absolutely spectacular. I took the rod but couldn’t tempt any of the massive trout clearly visable in the crystal clear streams with the lure. A real highlight of the trip was the helicopter ride through the craggy peaks of the Southern Alps back to Queenstown.

Kind regards,

Dr Murray Grant
