Veterinarian Client Patient Relationship (VCPR)


Dairy Well
A VCPR is an important component of proper drug use on farms.  To be valid, it requires:
  • A veterinarian of record (VOR) that takes responsibility for making medical judgments on the health and welfare of the cattle on the farm​
  • A current written agreement signed by both the VOR and the farmer 
  • Approved drug list and treatment records
    • Can be located elsewhere on the farm, not required to be in the VCPR Agreement

National Dairy FARM Program
A VCPR is required to correctly diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. It must be:
  • Current and signed by the farm owner/manager and the Veterinarian of Record (VOR)
  • Updated annually

This form is a Phase One Priority Level and is thus a minimum criterion for participation in the FARM ProgramTM.
