It is the mission of VEERkracht to provide the inside-outside knowledge to veterinarians and other consultants in the dairy industry by bringing the newest science to practice in post doc education. Our core business is to facilitate knowledge transfer to the members of the cooperative by organising study sessions each semester. Scientist and highly specialized consultants are invited to share their knowledge with our members. Which they in turn will pass on in workshops and practical training sessions to non-member dairy vets and farmers as final users... In addition, VEERkracht strives to be a source of knowledge and advise for other players in the field of dairy production. This has resulted in the presence of VEERkracht members in several committees and the implementation by a large number of Dutch dairy companies of the risk-assessment tool "Cow Compass" as a tool for quality control at dairy farms... The Veterinary Knowledge Cooperative VEERkracht was officially founded in 2013..
