Layers
The layer industry is a very important part of our business and we provide veterinary services to all sectors, from hatchery to adult layer. We offer a complete range of veterinary services and focus on providing bespoke veterinary health plans for our clients. Farm visits and laboratory diagnostic work are planned to maximize the birds’ health and welfare. As with broilers, the most important area are the farm visits, and the national spread of our practices allows all layer and pullet rearers to have a veterinary service at a local cost. Our expertise in all sectors and sizes of poultry production ensures we are able to advise clients on present and future challenges and provide innovative solutions that suit individual farms. Our field service is particularly important to our layer client in offering on farm vaccination, biosecurity advice, developing cleaning protocols and helping with water system administration. Our clients can view documents, serology and post mortem reports from their own farms through our secure password protected client management system.
Clients can choose to have an annual fee based on a range of services at different costs, as well as developing their own bespoke service level. Please look at our Retainer Scheme, these allow the producer to set budgets for his veterinary input. We also organise training events which can be national or on farm. Whatever your requirements as a layer farmer or pullet rearer, we are here to help.

Attention to detail and individual personal service is the defining attribute of all of the staff at St David's Poultry Team.
