Pig practice since 1996

THE AMBITIOUS PIG VETERINARIANS

Ø-Vet

Ø-Vet consists of 13 veterinarians distributed across the entire country.

Our CEO, Ken Steen Pedersen, is a professor of pig diseases at the University of Copenhagen and ensures a high, professional level.

Two veterinarians are always assigned to each farm so that you regularly get fresh eyes on it. Furthermore, we spar with each other on a weekly basis – so you do therefore not just get two veterinarians but an entire handful.

The visits are tailored according to your/your farm’s needs and we prioritise systematic advice at a high, professional level. We are happy to make both hernia and slaughter certificates so we can ensure that as many of your animals as possible make it to slaughter.

We have many years of experience with advisory services on both Danish and foreign farms. Among other things, via our work in Norway, Sweden and Finland we have gained big insight into handling of loose-housed, lactating sows plus handling of intact tails. Both of these areas are becoming more and more relevant in Denmark.

All visits are finalised with a report with specific advice that can be used in your strategic decisions or in the pig pen, and all our customers get access to MedReport – a benchmarking tool designed for financial comparison of your farm’s medicine consumption with other similar farms – both nationally and internationally.

We are ambitious and spend the exact amount of time needed to move your production in a better direction.

Veterinarians distributed across the entire country

We have veterinarians in Jutland, on Zealand and are regularly on Bornholm. We are therefore always close to you when the need arises.

Always several veterinarians per herd

You will always have two regular veterinarians assigned to your farm to continuously ensure ”new eyes”. In addition, we spar with each other on a weekly basis – so you do not only get two veterinarians but an entire handful.

Visits tailored according to your/your farm’s needs

Your need for help and advice may vary. We adapt according to your needs.

A lot of experience with advisory services on both Danish and foreign farms

We work in both Denmark and large parts of Europe – to everyone’s benefit. Among other things, via our work in Norway, Sweden and Finland we have gained big insight into handling of loose-housed, lactating sows plus handling of intact tails. Both of these areas are becoming more and more relevant in Denmark.

Systematic advice at a high, professional level

It is deeply ingrained in our genes to take a step back and see any problems in a larger perspective. We work systematically, do not just treat symptoms but seek to identify the cause of the underlying problem – and solve it. Our CEO, Ken Steen Pedersen, is a former professor of pig diseases at the University of Copenhagen and tries to keep us fully updated on the latest international research.

A wide palette of diagnostic tools

We want to know rather than to believe. We therefore use diagnostics. We have various tools available – both when taking samples from the animals and from various technical measuring devices to be used on the farm.

Hernia certificates and slaughter certificates

So, we can ensure that as many animals as possible reach the slaughterhouse instead of DAKA

Report after each visit

With specific advice that can be used in your strategic decisions or in the pig pen.

Access to MedReport

MedReport is a benchmarking tool developed by Ø-Vet. It is designed for financial comparison of your farm’s medicine consumption with other similar farms – both nationally and internationally.
Among other things, you can gain insight into your position compared to the national average and Ø-Vet’s average.
