Anticipated deliverables for dairy farmers
Poor mobility in dairy cows can cost farmers an average of £180 per case through lost milk sales, treatments and productivity. To help tackle the problem, DairyCo has launched a new DVD to help producers get the best from mobility scoring.
The DairyCo Mobility Scoring DVD is available available from here.
