Introducing the team in your area

A key part of being an extension officer is to help provide world class knowledge to our UK dairy farmers. We work with a range of different dairy organisations to make sure we are as accessible as possible providing the most up to date and effective information for you to use in your business.

As a team we can share our technical expertise with the dairy farming community. Discussion groups and open meetings are always great tools to discover alternative methods and share experiences.

What's been happening?

This month saw the Large Litres Club discussion group meet at the Nash's family farm. Dr. Nick Bell from the RVC discussed cow: housing interactions. His message was to focus on the ABC-Air flow, Bunk space (through space) and cow Comfort to ensure you get the maximum from your cows. If you are a high yielding producer and would like to get involved in this group please contact Izak van Heerden on  07854507279 or izak.vanheerden@dairyco.ahdb.org.uk

If you would like to know more about these or other discussion groups in the south east please contact DairyCo Extension Officer Izak van Heerden on 07854507279.
