Better animal health ‘can help beef farmers return to profitability’

Improving animal health can help struggling beef farmers work their way back towards profitability, according to the organisers of a series of beef health conferences.

Animal Health Ireland, Teagasc, the Irish Farmers’ Journal, and Veterinary Ireland have teamed up to host these very important information meetings focusing on animal health at a critical time in the farming calendar.

AHI chief executive Joe O’Flaherty said: “We are very conscious of the financial challenges facing farmers in both [beef and dairy] sectors and the objective of these events is to provide farmers with information to improve profitability through better animal health.”
