About Us

Evolve Pig Health was formed in 2018 with the aim of providing a customer-focused veterinary service to commercial pig farmers nationwide. We offer the full range of services from advisory site visits to training courses for unit staff. We also provide all of the paperwork required to ensure your unit is compliant with the veterinary specific sections of your assurance bodies requirements. This includes the creation of veterinary health plans and preventative medicine schedules.

We service all sizes of commercial system, including both indoor and outdoor units, single site and integrated systems. We are able to support Red Tractor and RSPCA Freedom Foods assured businesses as well as still providing vital assistance to non-assured enterprises.

Unfortunately we are unable to offer services to non-commercial or back yard pig keepers.

Tom Iveson BVMedSci(hons) BVM BVS(hons) MRCVS

Veterinary Surgeon and Managing Director

Tom Iveson qualified from the University of Nottingham in 2011 with honours. Since then he has always worked with production animals. In April 2015, he decided to focus exclusively on pigs. Tom formed Evolve Pig Health in 2018 in order to provide an independent, personal and high-quality service to farmers.

Tom is specifically interested in the review and refinement of management strategies with the aim of improving health, welfare and ultimately productivity. He feels that this approach often offers the most economically sound method for tackling problems encountered on farm.
