Case Studies

This time last year Northern Ireland dairy farmers Walter and Peter Speers had a problem.....

Yeast is an important component of both calf and dairy cow rations for dairy farmer, Tom Osborne.

In 2007 Alistair Graham and his cousin, Paul Brown, faced the agonising reality that their beef herd had Brucellosis and would have to be culled.

Cud-balling during the winter feeding period had become something that Shropshire dairy farmer, James Turnock, was used to seeing, particularly in his higher yielding cows.

Getting the most production from grass is the focus
of Welsh dairy farmer Alun Thomas, who is producing an average of 8,500 litres milk from a simple silage and home mix system at Upper Pendre farm in Llangorse.

Many dairy farmers worry that increasing milk yield on grass based systems can reduce fertility performance and cow health to an unacceptable level, particularly on a spring calving herd.
