Moorepark 07 focuses on innovation

THE latest science and technology available to help the Irish dairy industry to compete even more successfully on world markets will be outlined by Teagasc at an open day on Thursday.

Up to 10,000 people are expected to attend Moorepark 07, which will reflect the challenges and opportunities facing the country’s 21,000 milk suppliers and the overall industry.

It will take place at the Teagasc Moorepark complex near Fermoy, Co Cork, against a backdrop of continuing trade liberalisation and the probable phase-out of European Union milk quotas by 2015.
