Using Farm Data to Improve Welfare and Profitability on Farms and in Clinics | Samantha Tennent

With a melting pot career, BVetTech grad Samantha Tennent has ingrained herself in the dairy sector. She was a vet nurse briefly and an AI tech, then a Farm Solutions Manager at LIC for three and a half years. She did a stint in rural advertising and was the programme manager for InCalf at DairyNZ before taking on her current role as the General Manager of WelFarm Ltd. Recorded during lockdown in 2021, Sam speaks with Matt Wells about how we can take advantage of the opportunities from better farm data and new processor requirements.  She also uses her unique background to discuss how it can be done without increasing vet workloads, while improving incomes for both clinics and farmers.
