PETER EBBETT BVSc After graduating in 1989 I worked in a mixed mainly dairy practice in Northland before spending 2 ½ years working in mixed mainly dairy practice in the U.K. In late 1993 I started in the Waipukurau clinic when dairy conversions and velvetting were in full swing and when huge gains were made in breeding ewe efficiency. This stimulated my interest in animal nutrition and production. These days I am based out of the Hastings clinic where my areas of interest remains in production animal performance, genetics and reproduction, internal parasitism, dairy cow lameness and mastitis. |
