With some farms experiencing slurry storage issues, maintaining shed cleanliness and hygiene has become a challenge, leading to an increase in incidences of mastitis and milk fever.

A recent survey has found that 82% of participants were unable to turn cattle out to grass in February.

Farmers have been forced to work longer hours over the last few weeks, unable to get their cattle out onto pasture, according to the latest survey by Farm Relief Services Co-Operative (FRS Co-Op).
