Chinese dairy expert Jane Li says Fonterra’s Anmum is struggling to gain a foothold in the country’s lucrative infant formula market.

Mycoplasma bovis infection has now been confirmed in animals on 23 properties, MPI has announced.

Fonterra’s forecast milk price of $6.40/kgMS looks a lot more achievable now, according to BNZ senior economist Doug Steel.

About 1000 people will this month travel to New Zealand for three prestigious animal recording and genetics conferences.

Dairy prices have risen for the third consecutive auction this year.

Publicity on recent outbreaks of exotic Mycoplasma bovis could teach New Zealand farmers plenty about onfarm biosecurity and contagious mastitis.

Westland says damage caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Fehi has halted production at its Hokitika plant.

Cows with healthy udders have less mastitis, produce more and are easier to milk.

Fonterra says it is committed to being transparent with farmer shareholders on its Beingmate investment.

Fonterra is heading for a bigger financial disaster over its shaky investment in Chinese company Beingmate, says Chinese dairy expert Jane Li.
