Livestock farming is at the heart of rural life and with the widest farm practice footprint in the UK, our farm teams are woven into the fabric of these communities.
With over 10,000 farms, estates and small holdings under our care, they are our colleagues not customers and we're part of their team. As trusted partners to these businesses we look after the health of 14% of the cattle in the UK (nearly 1.5 million cattle) and 10% or >2.5 million sheep.
Watch this video to hear first hand what it’s like to work in our farm practices and what it means to be part of the IVC Evidensia Farm Vets community.
Our mission is to offer excellence in all areas of farm animal health, welfare and food safety.
We strive to support farmers with sustainable production that improves animal welfare, by utilising new technologies, efficiencies and solutions in preventative healthcare.
Our dedicated farm teams across Europe provide our core delivery of local veterinary services, with additional support by experts in their field. Their commitment to high quality partnerships with farmers delivers peace of mind, as well as value in a fast paced changing world.
We are committed to investing in our team's continuous professional development, transferring knowledge and expertise to our veterinarians, technicians and support staff.
Whilst some of the veterinary practices that make up IVC Evidensia Farm Vets, have been working with local herds and flocks for over a hundred years, our inception is more recent. Our growth rate has, however, been astounding as mixed and farm veterinary practices in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have joined us at an incredible rate since 2016.
Comprising of over 50 farm sites at the start of 2021, with more joining since, the wealth of knowledge, experience and ambition for the farming profession encompassed within IVC Evidensia Farm Vets is undeniable. Couple this with the proven track record of a supportive group, we believe we are one of the most exciting and progressive veterinary farm businesses to work for today, and for many years to come.
