Partnering with vets - better diagnostics, better care
Evidence-based mastitis solutions to strengthen veterinary care
Farm Medix brings structured diagnostics and decision insights into the farm support ecosystem, enabling veterinarians and other professionals to work from shared, high-quality data around the farmer’s objectives.
Achieve better mastitis outcomes, together
Farm Medix’s focus is to support dairy farmers and their veterinarians. We provide lab-grade microbiology, fast on-farm diagnostics, and a workflow that makes it easier for vets to deliver targeted, evidence-based mastitis management.
Our goal is to reduce mastitis pressure, focusing on mastitis prevention and, through accurate pathogen identification, the effective management of the pathogens identified.
We welcome veterinarians as core partners: recommending tests, helping with sampling, developing treatment protocols, reviewing corrective actions and co-developing mastitis management plans, including Staph. aureus control plans.
Our philosophy - collaboration
