Dairy Herd Management, Health & Production Assessment Software

| Features | Version Comparison | Downloads | Order | Training Classes | Contact Us |

VetCheck software is the simplest and quickest way to keep track of dairy herds. VetCheck is a comprehensive program whose management features include health, reproduction, and production assessment at the level of individual cows, the herd level, or for an entire veterinary practice.

Vetcheck is available in a shareware version (40 cow limit), as well as a single herd version and a multiple herd version. (comparison below)

VetCheck Software was developed by veterinarians to use with their dairy clients to provide management lists, worksheets, and progress reports. Quick and easy data entry, and simple management lists have made it a popular program for on-farm use as well. A special group of veterinarians and dairy producers continue to help with the design of new features.

VetCheck is designed with the flexibility to manage small or large dairy herds.

Vetcheck is multilingual. All versions can produce reports in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. In addition, special language editions are available that run the program and menus in different languages. Contact us for details.

Vetcheck training classes are available for small groups, and individual training can also be arranged.
