“These events are an excellent opportunity for us to hear from industry experts on wide ranging, relevant topics.”
Liam O’Flaherty Head of Dairygold Agribusiness advised the audience: “We are constantly seeking ways to applying innovative and proven science to reduce our carbon footprint right across our supply chain, for example today our Agricultural Science based advisory teams are advising farmers towards targeted nutrition and fertiliser plans from silage and soil samples processed through our in-house laboratory”.
Kevin Coffey, CEO of Munster Bovine commented: “In climate change, a real focus on actions that are outcome rather than activity driven and beneficial to farmers are needed for adoption. AI and Milk Recording are two outcome readily available technologies that can be used on every farm today”.
