On 26th March, RASE are running the UK’s first Precision Dairy Management Conference on 26th March at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern.

The conference will include sessions on heifer management, precision feeding, innovative health management and successful fertility.

The event is deisgned for dairy producers and practical applications rather than focusing on the presentation of research data. As such a high proportion of speakers will be dairy producers themselves, discussing the uptake of innovations on their farms.

Benefits for attendees:

  • Find out more about the latest advances in livestock technology;
  • Hear first hand about the impact these innovation have had on dairy businesses;
  • Look at novel ways of collecting and using data to enhance your business;
  • Provide a networking platform for forward thinking, progressive producers

The programme includes:

  • Heifer management, KPIs setting and achieving targets for growth – Kat Bazeley and Mark Humphry, Manor Farm Isle Abbots
  • GPS for dairy farms and automated feeding systems
  • Data collection to improve herd health – Peter Orpin
  • Technology to reduce diseases in the herd – Richard Pilkington
  • Plotting performance for cow fertility; how to be in the top 10% – Dr James Hanks
  • In-line progesterone testing and other in-line tests – Keiran Fitzgerald
  • What we can expect from the dairy farm of the future – David Alvis
