Whole Health Agriculture Learning Centre

Welcome! The Whole Health Agriculture Learning Centre provides evidence-informed education and resources to support farmers in building healthier, more resilient farms and livestock systems.

All training and support services are developed and delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals, including veterinarians, farmers, and other experts. Programmes are designed to offer practical, easily integrated strategies suitable for a range of farming systems.

As a not-for-profit organisation, our aim is to support improvements in animal health, resilience, and productivity that promote sustainability and cost efficiency for the farmer. By encouraging a shift towards proactive, prevention-focused farm health management, we give farmers wider health choices, beyond what is traditionally understood or readily accessible.

Our focus is on fostering natural health and vitality, reducing reliance on antibiotics and synthetic inputs. We test and practice what we teach on real farms so that other farmers can benefit and produce healthier, happier food.

Build Resilience > Increase Productivity > Cut Costs

Farmers are consistently being asked to reduce antibiotics, anthelmintics and synthetic inputs. Meanwhile, some key drugs relied on by farmers for years, eg Spectam and Zinc Oxide, have been withdrawn from the veterinary health market.

Often farmers are not aware of effective alternatives to conventional health options, but even if they are, how do they make these new methods work on their farms and where is the support to put them into practice?

At WHAg, we provide solutions and support. Our focus is on making integration simple for farmers through a simple system of prevention and early intervention which boosts livestock immunity, resilience, and the ability to cope with stress.
