The WelFarm Calendar
Throughout the season various herd health and welfare metrics are collected and added into the WelFarm portal which populates your dashboard with live benchmarking. It’s about painting the big picture, seeing the elements together to gain the deeper understanding of what is happening on farm, showing what is going well and how we can improve.

WelFarm Reporting
Farmers enrolled in WelFarm with their vet clinic have access to the WelFarm portal to view their information.
WelFarm Dashboard
As each piece of data is entered into the programme, a dial will display on the dashboard.
The dials are colour coded and arrows populate on the dial to show where the farm sits compared to the regional and national benchmarks for each metric.
Comparative reports
Once you are starting to build seasonal data within the WelFarm portal, you and your vet are able to dive deeper into some of your metrics, comparing across seasons using line charts, bar charts or tables.
The comparisons include the regional and national benchmarks and provide a great opportunity to analyse trends and assess impacts in areas you are trying to improve.
Wellbeing plans
The WelFarm Animal Wellbeing Plan is the only plan that is approved by Fonterra, and once the plan is submitted to WelFarm, then WelFarm let Fonterra know that there is a vet verified plan in place.
Fonterra trust WelFarm vets to ensure that the plan is compliant and correctly completed
