NZVA Conference 2026

The New Zealand Veterinary Association Conference 2026 is New Zealand’s largest professional gathering for the veterinary sector. The event brings together veterinarians, veterinary nurses, technicians, researchers and industry partners from across the country to share knowledge, research and practical insights that support animal health and farm performance.

CowManager will be on site SITE 115 to discuss how cow monitoring data can support practical, welfare-focused decision making on farm.

Meet our CowManager Performance Specialist

Our CowManager Performance Specialist, Louise Salter, will be on site. Louise is our in-house nutritionist and will be available for in-depth discussions around dairy cow health, nutrition, and how behavioural monitoring can support better herd management decisions alongside veterinary advice.

We  love to share how cow-level data insights can support informed decision-making for farmers while supporting strong animal health and welfare outcomes.
