Sharing the Profits

Abstract

As veterinarians we have a unique and highly important role in determining the future of the dairy industry. Beyond our many professional responsibilities we are in a position to interpret the many factors which are impacting the livestock industry today. In our capacity as herd health consultants we are often asked to advise, educate and guide dairymen on the many factors that have a direct input on the profitability of the dairy enterprise. One of the most challenging aspects of consultation is that of employee/employer salary relationships.
