Proportion of farmers who are milk recording on the rise
Farmers who adopt milk recording see improved economic performance and animal health.
About 60% of Irish dairy herds nationally are milk recording, according to a recent Teagasc Dairy Edge podcast.
Shane Leane, Technical Sales Manager with Progressive Genetics explained: “That would make up about 70% of the cows. In the last couple of years, there has been a massive increase. We’re still nowhere near where we need to be, when we compare with our counterparts in the EU”.
