How do we reduce methane emissions from cattle within our pasture-based farming system? And when will farmers have solutions ready to use on-farm?

Our new and improved Body Condition Scoring (BCS) app makes scoring your cows faster and easier. Designed with farmer feedback and testing, the app helps you record, track and analyse BCS data with ease.

Fodder beet has a lot to offer when managed correctly. It has a high yield potential and its high energy is great for putting body condition on cows.

Correctly setting up your milking plant will minimise the chance of teat and udder damage, and the risk of grades caused by poor plant performance.

Create an attractive workplace for staff and maximise time out in the paddock for cows by milking efficiently. Milking can be a time-consuming task. On an average farm at peak lactation, twenty-nine hours per week are spent milking.

Learn how pasture-based dairy farming can boost your profits by effectively managing your pasture and cows. Prioritising pasture can lead to great rewards for farmers.

Dairy nutrition is about understanding the nutrient requirements of dairy cows at various stages of lactation and combining various feed alternatives to meet those needs in a cost-effective manner.

Udder health and milk quality are important to farm productivity and profitability. Every farm stands to gain from less mastitis.

From lameness and heat stress, to facial eczema, Johne's disease and Theileria, keep up to date with the latest on cow health.

How does heat stress affect cows, what are some warning signs, and what can you do on farm to make life more comfortable for your cows?

More farmers are using wearables for heat detection and to ease pressure on skilled people at mating time. But do they lift repro results? Hear what the research says in this episode with DairyNZ’s Paul Edwards and CowSmart vet Line Ferriman.
