About us

The Grove Pig Centre at the George Veterinary Group

The George Veterinary Group pig department, incorporating the Grove Pig Centre, is based at the main practice building in Malmesbury, but from here covers a large area of the south west and into the south east of England.

Our service covers all aspects of pig production from large breeding companies to the small 'back-yard' producer. We service both indoor and outdoor herds with the individual requirements of the herd and farmer in mind.

Following the triad of health, management and welfare our facilities include:

Health:

• Health monitoring with routine sampling and abattoir checks
• In-house laboratory facilities for routine bacteriology and parasitology
• Rapid investigation of disease problems on farm as well as regular routine advisory visits
• Provision of medication, VM D prescriptions etc.

Management:

• Emphasis on husbandry and good management practice to prevent disease including vaccination protocols
• In-house performance monitoring

Welfare:

• Routine visits for farm assurance schemes encouraging best practice on farm to eliminate welfare problems
