Dave Van Walleghem

Dave’s love of animals and passion for the industry started in his earliest days working and eventually managing his parents’ dairy farm. He obtained his Degree in Animal Science at the University of Manitoba and continued his education through several seminars and courses. After leaving the dairy farm, Dave joined Elite Swine, a large, coordinated swine group. It was during his 8-year tenure as veterinary assistant that he began his journey in biosecurity. Dave later joined SHP, a major veterinary group, and then worked at Vetoquinol where he was the Biosecurity Specialist for 14 years. In his spare time, Dave enjoys adventures with his wife Melody and spending time with his three grown children and their partners —and being their handy man! Dave is extremely pleased to have joined Solvet in May 2023 as Biosecurity Specialist. Solvet’s philosophy aligns with his own and he loves being a part of the team. “Helping and finding solutions for customers!”
