How we can support you

Larkmead Vets believes in a holistic approach to pig health, welfare and production. We target disease, environment and nutritional control strategies to ensure the best outcomes for you and your pigs.

Visits are usually planned on a quarterly basis with an emphasis on preventative veterinary medicine rather than combatting disease outbreaks. At these visits we will discuss all matters relating to unit productivity, health and welfare as they are key to profitable pig farming.

Larkmead Vets supports a wide range of pig owners from international breeding companies to family pet pigs and all those in between. We have particular expertise in outdoor herds and can advise on any area of pig production including the organic pig sector.
