LIC is visiting eight towns with Cognosco, the research group from Anexa Animal Health, to present key findings of a national herd fertility study (funded by DairyNZ) and talk with farmers about the opportunity which exists for many from improved reproductive performance.
Greg McNeil, LIC’s reproduction solutions manager, says the research suggests that by focusing on eight simple steps farmers could achieve more profit. “This is an open invitation to… join the discussion, learn what drives successful reproduction and what to do to improve a herd’s performance and overall profitability.”
Tom Brownlie, Cognosco scientist, says they will show farmers, vets and consultants the latest research into the reproductive performance of New Zealand dairy herds, including local statistics.
“The comprehensive study was carried out over many farms and many years and included herds across the country, and has provided fascinating insights into how successful reproduction is achieved on farms of all sizes.
“We’ll be presenting these findings in a practical way that will provide farmers with information to take away and apply on their own farms, to ultimately improve their herd’s reproductive performance.”
