Herd health
We make your herd’s health our priority, and provide proactive veterinary care for beef and dairy cattle.
Welcome to Farm Veterinary Solutions
At FVS, we take a proactive approach to help you ensure the good health and performance of your dairy and beef cattle, sheep flocks and gamebirds.
Disease prevention is always the goal: it helps ensure animals can reach their performance potential, and is in the best interests of animal welfare. It’s also the best strategy for keeping medicine bills low!
We are happy to share our knowledge with you on-farm, and regularly hold technical meetings on topics such as foot-trimming, mastitis control and youngstock rearing. We can also provide practical training courses for you and your staff, on topics such as veterinary emergency treatments.
As a member of XLVets, we are part of a community of over 50 independently-owned and progressive practices. This gives us the opportunity to gain from the knowledge and skills in other vet practices and ensure we deliver high standards of veterinary care. And our farm clients benefit directly from competitive medicine costs.

New Lutterworth branch for FVS!
We are extremely thrilled to announce the opening of our new Lutterworth branch of Farm Veterinary Solutions.
With this expansion, we can provide local support to our south Leicestershire clients as well as provide a range of services – such as mobility scoring - to local farmers.
In fact, our full range of veterinary and vet tech services for livestock farmers will be on offer from Lutterworth. These include fertility services, in-house faecal egg count testing, condition scoring, herd and flock health planning, and gamebird health services.
Training day for farmers
We held a farmer training day in February, at Tower House Farm, by kind permission of Mr Allen, and supported by Norbrook. The day began with an informative presentation covering a variety of different emergency scenarios that can arise on a farm – from difficult lambings to bloated cattle, which was then followed by a question-and-answer session.
