What is it ?
Best I don't get involved in pre service checksYou shove a plunger in a cow to check for whites.
Don't know about NZ but it will be a vet only procedure over here. May as well scan them.
Normally not done by vet in nz, they would generally do the whole herdYou shove a plunger in a cow to check for whites.

Done it the last few years. Simple as this the better transitioned and looked after your cows the less you need it.
Plus if you do it early enough you'll do all your cows
Vet only to metricheck ??? What a scam.
I don't do it anyway. Leave healthy cows alone.

Totally agree, treat the problem, not the symptomsDone it the last few years. Simple as this the better transitioned and looked after your cows the less you need it.

You can buy one of Kiwikit .done own cows for last 4/5 years after being trained by a vet .we mark cows 1/2/3 depending on how clean/dirty they are.i take what @Clay52 says with a pinch of salt as I've found cows what look clean and healthy on the outside dirty inside and cows what you expect to be dirty to be clean inside
We have all found those cows.
Healthy cows that are dirty can still get pregnant with pretty good fertility. They don't need to be treated. If you have so many dirty cows that its really effecting overall ferility you have already lost the battle.
Also if healthy cows need intervention to get pregnant I don't want to breed from them anyway.
