JOHN D. BORZILLO, DVM.

C.O.O

Dr. John Borzillo was born and raised in Hermann, Missouri; a small agricultural community 65 miles West of St. Louis. Despite being home to only a few dairy farms, John developed a strong interest in the dairy industry at an early age. In 2009, John graduated from The University of Missouri-Columbia as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and immediately moved with his family to “America’s Dairyland”.

John’s education focused primarily on herd-level medicine and management. These interests allowed him to travel the U.S. and participate in multiple dairy-specific internships, including becoming a graduate of the 2008 Summer Dairy Institute at Cornell University.

John is currently serves the dairy farms of Clark, Jackson and Wood counties. His professional interests include general herd health, medicine and surgery, training of on-farm staff members as well as residue compliance. John would tell you that, “dairy medicine is more than a job or single task; rather a cog in the complex mechanism necessary to produce a high volume of high quality milk,” and does his best to approach every day with that basic philosophy.

Outside of work, John is happily married to his wife Emily and has two daughters. He and his family are involved in their local church and enjoy spending time with friends and family. The Borzillo’s also enjoy many of the outdoor activities Wisconsin has to offer including mountain biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, and snow shoeing.
