CellCheck quality initiative aims to control mastitis and boost profits

DAIRY farmers are partnering with vets, advisers, dairy technicians and co-op personnel on a milk quality initiative called CellCheck, which will control mastitis and should boost future profits.

Launched at the Teagasc National Dairy Conferences in Charleville and Mullingar, this drive brings together Animal Health Ireland, Teagasc, DAFF, Veterinary Ireland, UCD, ICBF and industry partners in the co-ops.

Dairy farmers will be supported in their goal to boost quality to maximise profits as part of the sector’s plans to boost production by 50% as part of the goals outlined in the Food Harvest 2020 report.
