Livestock Health Advisors – Farmers Helping Farmers
At Whole Health Agriculture (WHAg), we believe that real change in farming comes from sharing what works – the successes, the failures, and the lessons learned along the way.
That’s why we launched our Livestock Health Advisor (LHA) programme back in 2021 – to train experienced farmers to support others in building healthier, more resilient herds and flocks using a proven, preventative approach.
Practical Farm Advice, Backed by Experience
Our Whole Health system is all about prevention and early action. We use a straightforward toolkit that includes nosodes, homeopathic remedies, and natural supplements to strengthen animals’ immunity, build resilience, and cope better with common farm stresses.
Our trained Livestock Health Advisors are working farmers themselves. They’ve completed rigorous training and passed assessments led by veterinary surgeon Chris Aukland, our Head of Livestock Health Programmes.
They understand the realities of day-to-day farming – because they live it.
What an LHA Can Do for You?
WHAg-LHAs offer practical, farm-tested guidance to help you prevent health problems from becoming full-blown issues. Whether it’s helping prevent birth problems, improving fertility, or reducing reliance on chemical treatments, LHAs are here to help you make confident decisions to improve herd health and, most importantly, wellbeing and welfare.
Important: WHAg Advisors never diagnose or treat animals – that’s the vet’s job. eir role is to guide and support farmers using our natural, preventative Whole Health approach.
What Farmers Are Saying
"Since Pammy started teaching me how to administer remedies, the cows are performing better over the calving period. Retained cleansings are down, and I’ve had far fewer fly problems in the parlour — which has made summer milking a pleasure. I know now when to put remedies in the trough, and I’ve definitely stepped in early enough to stop full-blown mastitis. Having that kind of control is incredibly reassuring."
Ready to Take Your Livestock Health to the Next Level?
Whether you’re looking to cut back on routine antibiotics, improve animal performance, or just feel more confident about your herd’s natural immunity, a WHAg LHA can help.
