About Neil ...
Dr Neil Chesterton, Hon BVSc, has been investigating the causes of lameness in cattle since the early 80’s and has had 3 papers published in the New Zealand
Veterinary Journal. In 1989 he was awarded the Australian College medal for his work in this field. In 2013 he was the recipient of the Golden Glove award given by
the Dairy Cattle Vets Association of New Zealand. He has produced booklets and teaching videos cover all aspects of lameness in pasture fed dairy herds and has travelled
the world presenting and educating in this topic.
In recent years Neil has focused on the importance of herd management on the farm tracks and in the milking shed. His understanding of cow behaviour is resulting in practical ways for farmers to reduce foot damage and subsequent lameness.
As a result of this work and his contribution to veterinary practice in New Zealand he was awarded an Honorary BVSc by Massey University.
