Care that comes full circle is more than a motto. It\u2019s the way we live, taking care of the livestock and animals that take care of us \u2013 livestock that provide a livelihood and protein products to feed the world and companion animals that provide joy and friendships to many. An ideal candidate for a BioZyme\u00ae dealer is a veterinarian \u2013 they are providing care to animals in multiple ways \u2013 both preventative care to keep the animals healthy and restorative care when an animal needs healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maryville Vet Clinic, LLC, Maryville, Missouri, has been a BioZyme dealer since the 1980s. Dr. David Frueh and his original veterinary partner were dealers, and when Dr. Frueh became a single-vet practice, he liked the products so well, he continued to sell them. Today, all three veterinarians within the practice, Dr. Frueh, Dr. Patrick O\u2019Connell and Dr. Gina Stoll, like the benefits of the products and recommend them to their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere, we try the product first. We never want our customers to be the guinea pig. So, if there\u2019s a new product or a different product we feed it to our own cattle. Dr. Frueh has seen how products like the Concept\u2022Aid\u00ae has increased conception rates and how the condition of his cows has benefitted from the mineral. He\u2019s a believer in the product. Once you see how the product works, it really sells itself,\u201d said Stacy Liebhart, Office Manager of the Clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liebhart said that 90% of their practice is large animals, and a majority of those clients are cattle producers. Therefore, they have formulated a nutrition program they recommend their customers stay on throughout the year to maximize their herds\u2019 health. Their program includes the VitaFerm\u00ae HEAT\u00ae mineral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From January through about March or April, during the bulk of calving, customers are recommended to feed VitaFerm Concept\u2022Aid\u00ae 10; then during grass tetany season, they advise switching to VitaFerm Concept\u2022Aid Mag\/S. During the hottest months of the year, which can vary from May or June to September or November, it\u2019s HEAT season, and that is when they sell and advise their customers to use VitaFerm HEAT. Once the temperatures consistently cool down, they put their cows back on the regular VitaFerm Concept\u2022Aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like with any new product, Liebhart said the doctors tried the HEAT line when it was introduced. She said they were conservative with their first order of HEAT mineral to feed their own cows, but it didn\u2019t take them long to see the benefits and wanted to get more to offer their clients right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt only took one pallet of mineral and they were like wow this stuff works, and now that\u2019s all we recommend during the summer months. So just like all products we had to make sure it worked before we recommended it to our customers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liebhart said their dealership is unique as their main source of income isn\u2019t from supplement sales; however, those sales have made the animals that the doctors take care healthier and more productive over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also recommends for every dealership, regardless of its situation to stay current on all the BioZyme products, which she says is her responsibility. She often recommends the products that she knows will work well to the doctors during various seasons because she is the one who makes the time to keep up on all the training. For instance, during calving she often recommends Vita Charge\u00ae Clench Gel to accompany treatments for scours or Vita Charge Gel when a calf is has digestive issues or Vita Charge Drench at weaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From preventative health care to making an animal feel its best, veterinarians are busy people. They work on animals big and small, and they make great BioZyme dealers, providing that care that comes full circle. Thanks for being fantastic dealers, Maryville Vet Clinic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
