AMVC Swine Health Services

AMVC Swine Health Services is a swine exclusive practice serving a wide range of clients from family farms to contract growers, to show pig breeders and 4-H pig owners to cooperatives and businesses that own pigs. We provide care and consultation services to all sizes and types of production flows. Our emphasis is on preventative care, establishment of vaccination protocols, good management and responsible stewardship of antimicrobials

Dr. Max Rodibaugh graduated from Purdue University veterinary school in 1977 and joined Dr John Coltrain, Thorntown, Indiana in a mixed practice with swine emphasis. Dr. Coltrain was an early leader in preventive swine health management. His untimely death in 1978 led to Dr. Rodibaugh making a difficult decision to leave that practice due to his desire to specialize in swine. In January 1980, Swine Health Services was opened as one of the first swine-exclusive practices in the United States. Dr. Jim Kober joined the practice in 1989 and later left to open the first swine-exclusive practice in Michigan. Dr. Jeff Harker joined the practice in 1994 after graduation from Purdue University, and became a partner in 2001. Dr. Daren Miller was an associate for Swine Health Services from 2012-2015. In addition to Indiana, the practice serves clients in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and California. Dr. Rodibaugh has consulted in Mexico, Peru, and Barbados, and lectured in Germany over his practice tenure. In January of 2016 Swine Health Services entered into an agreement with AMVC to purchase the business, and it is now named AMVC Swine Health Services. In March of 2021, the practice merged with All About Swine and welcomed Dr. Dennis Villani to the team. Today there are four veterinarians on staff: Dr. Jeff Harker, Dr. Amy Woods, Dr. Dennis Villani, and Dr. Lauren Nagel. To better accommodate the business's growth, the practice moved to a new building at the end of 2021 and is now located at 2800 E Wabash Street, Frankfort, IN 46041
