Stretched to their limits, rural veterinarians are seeking better ways to serve their clients and build their practices. Growing herd sizes and geographic distances are opportunities for those practitioners who understand the value of supporting producers remotely instead of running the proverbial fire truck practice.
Waylon Wise, BSc, Ag, DVM, finds the TELUS Animal Record Management tool to be a smooth fit with clients who are progressively inclined and looking for an integrated approach. Features of the tool provide a strong platform for client herd management. First, it delivers access to expanding health and production records. Second, it helps track and manage individual health, breeding, genetic and feeding data. A unique feature of the tool is the ability to coordinate virtual visits.

We’re making a real difference on the productivity and health of these herds by managing the data, and training as many people as we can at the operation to do what we do. I don’t need to be assisting every calf with a leg turned back or ultrasounding every cow in the country. We’re trying to play a larger role in disseminating what we’ve been taught to ultimately improve animal welfare . . . time matters.” – Waylon Wise, BSc, Ag, DVM
