JOHN D. BORZILLO, DVM.

C.O.O

Dr. John Borzillo was born and raised in Hermann, Missouri, a small agricultural community an hour West of St. Louis, Missouri, USA. In 2009, John graduated from The University of Missouri-Columbia as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and immediately moved to Wisconsin, USA – “America’s Dairyland”.

During his time at the University of Missouri, he focused primarily on herd-level medicine and management. These interests allowed him to travel the U.S. and participate in multiple, dairy-specific internships and certificate programs, including Summer Dairy Institute at Cornell University.

In 2014 John partnered with Cody Heller to form Central Wisconsin Ag Services, LLC (CWAS) where he currently serves the dairy farms of Clark, Jackson and Wood counties, Wisconsin. However, the partnership has developed into a multi-faceted agricultural consulting firm offering subject matter expertise in veterinary medicine, agronomy and biogas project management both in the US as well as internationally. 

John also serves as a contracted veterinary professional with Armor Animal Health, where he serves as part of a professional team of veterinarians offering product support and subject matter expertise for a wide range of dairy and beef herds throughout the Midwest. As an Armor contracted veterinarian, John serves much of west central and southwestern Wisconsin. 

His professional interests at home and abroad include herd health, medicine and surgery, bovine reproductive performance, preventative health and biosecurity, training of on-farm staff, residue compliance, establishment of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and outcome-based management strategies as well as anaerobic manure management and regenerative agriculture.
