Start up morning in Tipperary. 124 spring calved cows to milk through 2 x A5 robots. Cows currently all at grass with no silage so leaves it for a more simpler startup. Milked cows can individually head back to the block of fresh grass. Hopefully all goes to plan 🐄🤞

Analysing robotic milking data is a key part of our Advanced Robot triangle approach. This month's @britishdairying features an interesting article on one of our customer's farms in Gloucester with @ProperJobPinker showing how our robot experience can drive results.
Interested in practical applications of scientific knowledge, specifically robotic milking in grass-based systems?
Check out Episode 2 of The Dairy Experience podcast!

I had a great discussion with Garry Carpenter, Board President of @HolsteinAust, and John van Adrichem, a pioneering robotic and Dairy XL farmer from Tasmania, Australia.
You can successfully transition from conventional milking to robotic milking without incurring substantial expenses in constructing a new milking facility. A previous Herringbone shed was repurposed into a two-robot milking system with amazing results! #RoboticMilking #HappyCows
Smooth start-up, happy cows, and kudos to our exceptional team of LC Southwest Victoria! #Innovation

Ways livestock producers can improve feed efficiency & cut costs💰on-farm!
Two top tips:
1️⃣Breed for feed efficiency
2️⃣Increase forage quality
Higher quality = better gains! Win-win for sustainability & economics!
#ForageQuality #FeedEfficiency #LivestockProducers
Robotic milking is on the rise in the dairy industry! Enhanced efficiency and labor savings are key drivers, freeing up farmers for other tasks. Cow welfare is prioritized with voluntary milking (Free Cow Traffic), reducing stress and promoting comfort.
#RoboticMilking
Plus, valuable data on rumination minutes, milking performance, milk quality, and cow health etc . empowers data-driven management decisions.

There is an urgent need to increase food production and to reach environmental objectives while preserving the health of our ecosystem. Ruminants are one of the main sources of animal protein (meat & milk) & their diet is based mainly on grass/forage.
I’m happy to share our recently published review paper ‘Ruminant contribution to enteric methane emissions and possible mitigation strategies in the Southern Africa Development Community region’ co-authored with Prof @OthusitseMadib1
