Hundreds of dairy farmers attended events all over the South Island last month to learn more about how they can increase revenue from the same sized herd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a great turnout with plenty of farmer interest so we\u2019re looking forward to kicking off the North Island leg next month, to talk with more farmers about the opportunity which exists for many from improving the reproductive performance of their herd,\u201d LIC\u2019s reproduction solutions manager Greg McNeil said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 300 farmers and local rural professionals attended events in Canterbury, West Coast and Southland. McNeil said they now plan to visit 11 North Island farming centres starting in Whangarei on June 10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we did in the south, this is an open invitation to all farmers and anyone else who is interested to come along and join the discussion, learn more about what drives successful reproduction and what they could do to improve their herd\u2019s performance,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cognosco scientist Tom Brownlie said the presentation will provide farmers, local vets and consultants with the latest research into the reproductive performance of New Zealand dairy herds and local statistics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe comprehensive study, funded by DairyNZ, was carried out over many farms and many years with herds across the country and has provided fascinating insights of how successful reproduction is achieved on farms of all sizes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be presenting these findings in a practical way that will provide farmers with information they can take away and apply on their own farms, to help improve their herd\u2019s reproductive performance and get more profit from the same sized herd.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Light refreshments will be provided, so for catering purposes please RSVP to communications@lic.co.nz<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
