Proudly we present our new company movie: Healthy livestock, healthy people.

 

Over 100 people, stakeholders, team members and the owners with their partners, attended the event honouring the 10 years of activity of Dopharma in Romania from September 29th to the 1st of October 2017.

The event took place at a beautiful location in the middle of Romania: the Teleferic Grand Hotel in Poiana Brasov. Besides the many facilities for relaxation offered by the hotel, there were also several activities organised for the guests, such as paintball, bike riding and bowling. People also had the opportunity to visit interesting locations in the area like the castle of Bran and the beautiful downtown of Brasov and Rasnov.

General Manager Wijnand de Bruijn and Maurits Regouin, Director of Dopharma Vet, were the speakers during the dinner held in honour of this special occasion.
All guests were amused when Maurits shared humorous stories about events that happened during the first 10 years of our company existence. All challenges encountered by the team in those first years of business were transformed into stories that brought laughter and cheerfulness.
Wijnand’s company presentation from the beginning until present time surely made a strong impression amongst all guests present. It strengthened the bonds of collaboration and business.  Wijnand clearly presented Dopharma’s mission and the direction that will be followed in the future years.

Everybody raised their glasses to congratulate Dopharma Vet and thanked all clients and team members for this wonderful celebration!

 

As a part of Dopharma’s mission to “Healthy Livestock” the family owned Dutch company extended their efforts in providing diagnostics and vaccines for livestock by acquiring shares in the German family owned company RIPAC-LABOR, specialist in the development and production of herd specific vaccines.

As a veterinarian or farmer it is important to calculate the right dosage before starting the treatment. With the introduction of Dopharma 2.0 the dosage calculator has been renewed. First of all the tool is now available in English too. Next, we changed the format and improved the technique behind the dosage calculator.

The dosage calculator can be used in fattening pigs, broilers and calves. Unique to the dosage calculator of Dopharma is that you can choose products from our portfolio for the treatment. The dosages and durations of treatment as mentioned in the SPC will then be shown on the screen.

What are the improvements in the new dosage calculator?

• When you are making a calculation, suggestions are done for the average water and feed intake. It is however also possible to adjust these values. In this manner it is possible to determine the most accurate dosage, also when animals for example drink less due to disease or more due to high environmental temperatures.

• In the case of broilers, the dosage calculator compensates for the rapid increase in bodyweight. When you choose the bodyweight of the chickens on the first day of treatment, the dosage calculator will automatically select the bodyweights of the following days.
• For calves the amount of treatments per day is included in the dosage calculator.
• Besides the dosage per litre water or ton feed, the total amount of product needed and the amount of product needed per day will be shown.
• After completing the calculation, you can e-mail yourself or somebody else the result. The message will contain the result of the calculation, as well as all values entered into the calculator. You can even add information to this e-mail before sending it.

You can find the dosage calculator on www.dosagecalculator.dopharma.com.

If you have any suggestions or questions regarding the dosage calculator, we would be happy to hear from you.
