Harvest Natural Health Limited

Phil has a background as a natural health product company founder (Phytomed and Kiwiherb), with extensive knowledge of the global medicinal plant/herb industry, and its raw material supply chain. Given the need for NZ to diversify its agricultural economy and it being an ideal country to cultivate a wide range of medicinal plants (to support the local industry as well as to supply a growing export market, especially for organically certified product), he’s been working with groups of farmers on field trials and crop establishment, the past couple of years. Phil has written discussion papers and given presentations at conferences and various forums on issues such as Sustainability of the Medicinal Herb industry, and why we should grow more herbs here in Aotearoa NZ. Phil can provide strategic and technical advice on which medicinal plants might grow well in particular regions, and help with the design, planning, budget preparation, and workstream to undertake field trials. The Venture Taranaki ‘Branching Out’ programme (featured on Seven Sharp in October 2024) was a project he was actively involved in. Phil is now working with another farmer group in the Waitaki district, and they will be planting the 1st seedlings of various species next month.

Agilis Vet Ltd

Agilis Vet Limited was formed in 2013 by a group of NZ production animal veterinarians to ensure the next step in animal health promptly came to market.

Larger multi-nationals are primarily focusing on intensive production animals and are therefore slow to bring new products to NZ and Australia for our extensive seasonal and pastoral farming systems and increasingly the market favored generic products.

Agilis sources and invests in new and novel animal health products that assist veterinarians and farmers to produce healthier animals that need less intervention.

Our strategic direction is to provide veterinarians and farmers with the ability to access quality products from the global market and influence new products coming to the NZ market.

We now have a unique range of products that are based around ensuring we have health cows and our three key products are vaccines that can be used on organic farms

  • UBAC – a vaccine that reduced mastitis caused by Strep. uberis
  • Startvac -a vaccine that reduces mastitis caused by Staph. aureus and E.coli
  • Hiprabovis 3 – a vaccine that reduces BVD and IBR

These vaccines and our other products are available through your veterinarian or contact us direct for more details at info@agilis.nz

TRUE HEALTH

Wondering how to deal with cow infections when certified organic? Looking for more ‘tools in the organic toolbox’? Look for the remedies used by most organic dairy farmers.  The True Health animal remedies were developed by Dr Paul Dettloff, esteemed USA Organic Valley consulting vet. Dr Paul developed these plant based remedies over the last 35 years and they are now used on thousands of farms and by dozens of veterinary practices throughout the USA. The 15 True Health Ltd. products are BioGro certified and ideal for naturally and powerfully dealing to major animal health and calving challenges. The remedies can boost natural animal immune response to help fight off infections and heal minor wounds. They may also be helpful with post calving problems, calf rumen health and hormonal balance in cows. They include: alcohol tinctures, essential oil extracts, aloe based liquids, and boluses.

Above all, Dr Paul stressed the importance of good soil remineralisation so that high quality pasture nutrition supports cow growth, production and health. These medicinal plant remedies are a bridge to better animal production as we all strive for taller pastures that are mineral balanced, microbially active, diverse and high brix…. the basis for contented animals and a healthy environment.

SOIL TO SOUL

Soil to soul: bringing soul to soil.

The soul of the soil is all that lives an moves within the soil. We work with Biodynamic practices. By working with these we can increase the Brix reading that gives an indication of photosynthesis in the plant. increasing the uptake of light by the plant also helps the plant nitrates and simple proteins to complex proteins that are more nutritious to our domestic animals. We and they need eight essential amino acids when they are mature and nine while young.

The increase in sugars feed the soil food web that in turn enable the plant to choose what it needs and when.

Biodynamic practice also includes the right ratio of shrubs and trees for your situation to nurture via self medication, and extra fodder. This practice also increases the comfort to animals and by reducing the wind-flow increases the value of carbon dioxide for the next round of photosynthesis and reduces what is otherwise lost to the atmosphere. Both soil carbon as humus and trees well placed keep the soil cooler in summer so increasing the time that soil biology can be fully active. These are not the only potential benefits. We are happy to join with you as part of your farm team. We look forward to hearing from you.

We work with soil tests and balancing of the elements in soil and plant.

ECOFARM AOTEAROA

If you have extraordinary soil health you will have extraordinary plant health and vigour, animal health and vigour and greater profits. A win:win:win.

Ewan Campbell is the proud creator of Probitas – a blend included in the fertiliser prescribed and created specifically for your farm, that improves the electrical activity of the soil. Being a farmer himself Ewan also has an deep understanding of the issues farming and agricultural sector today understanding the effect of long term practices which have resulted in falling KPI’s, rising toxicities in the soil.

But it could be Ewan’s desire to be a ‘lazy farmer’ that has helped him develop a multi approach style to fertiliser blends that are only applied ONCE A YEAR. Then left alone. This is the hardest thing the farmer has to do – sit on his hands and let the system do it’s job!

So while you now have time to go fishing or play golf, you can also remember the cost effectiveness that Ecofarm Aotearoa have provided in their blends specific to your farm. There is no guess work, just science. And organic at that.

Vitus is our famous blend of five ingredients designed to assist with making available a full range of minerals in a bio-available form. Three of these ingredients originate from the ocean. All ingredients are blended and bagged in their natural state, exclusively at the Paeroa plant.

Get your farm back to it’s productive past, it’s nutritive heyday all the while knowing that you are improving the environmental impact. And with depots in the North and South Island it is easier than you might imagine!

SOUTHERN HUMATES

The biological solution for all your soil and animal health needs

Southern Humates offers you the very best in soil and animal health for your farm. Using nutrient-rich humate from a unique humate stream in Southland, Southern Humates have consistently high levels of humic acid in its products. Southern Humates is backed by scientific research, has been independently tested and is certified for organic input.

Humic acids are essential to life on earth and when they become depleted through modern farming practices, soil problems develop resulting in poor performance of plants and stock. Southern Humates stimulate microbial activity within the soil, which increases bacteria and fungi levels, leading to improved plant quality, better yields and greater productivity.

Not only do Humic acids benefit the soil, but they are also equally important in boosting stock health. The humic acid in our humate along with the high levels of carbon aid an animals ability detox when facing a disease challenge. The carbon in humates absorb any toxins your animals may encountering and cause them to be discharged via the digestive tract. Particularly in the situation of calf rearing, farmers are finding that by having humates available as a loose lick, prevention is better than the cure.

BIOSEA

Biosea is a range of innovative biological inputs designed to support growers with their requirements in agriculture and horticulture. Our Biogro number is 202 which should give some indication of how long we have been involved in organic farming in New Zealand.

For the past 30 years we have been involved with 3 of NZ’s largest fishing companies. Our work has centered around liquid fertilisers using fish proteins, seaweed and omega 3 fish oils. We also have unique access to fish meal and mussel meal in solid form.

In addition to fertilisers, animal health has always been a focus. Working closely with farmers over time we have designed a number of animal health products including Biosea Animal Tonic and Biosea Dairy Oil.

Our Biological Solutions Contego range incorporates the use of beneficial fungi and bacteria for plant health and nutrition and pest and disease management. We specialise in mixing the required biologicals with the liquid fertilisers to create a one-pass product for easy application. The Contego range can be supplied separately in powder form to apply where and when necessary. It can be sprayed or used as a wet or dry mix for seed treatment. Each order can be tailored to the growers requirements. 

If you want to improve your soil biology and further develop your organic farming practices then we can help you.
