OAD milking option discussed at Tuesday’s Moorepark ’17

There is growing interest in full and part season once-a-day (OAD) milking, said Brian Hilliard of Teagasc at Tuesday’s Moorepark ’17 open day.

Increasing herd size, longer walking distances, and a shortage of skilled labour are some of the reasons for OAD milking, which has been widely practiced in New Zealand since the 1950s.
