Dairy herd owners were impressed by the portable DeLaval cell counter, which was on show at last week’s RUAS Winter Fair in Belfast.

DeLaval got a lot of attention for this fully-automatic spray robot at Agromek 2012 last week in Denmark.

Tributes have been flooding in to congratulate RTÉ radio presenter Damien O’Reilly on his recent Star Prize at the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) awards in Sweden.

A fully updated DeLaval robot scraper for slats, the RS420S, was on display at Balmoral Show in Belfast.

Fast moving technology in milk production has led to some AI companies selecting bulls with traits desirable for automatic milking, according to DeLaval’s Milkproduction.com website.

At this time of year, milk producers and livestock breeders will be considering what AI semen to use on their dairy and beef cows and how to maintain or improve herd fertility and farm incomes.

HOLY cow! It’s enough to make a pampered poodle jealous.

THERE are 11 rules for reducing cell counts, farmers were told at last month’s Profit from Milk Quality conference, organised by DeLaval and AIB, in Kilkenny.

A STUDENT from Lattin, Co Tipperary, who studied with Teagasc at Clonakilty Agricultural College, is the winner of the DeLaval Cream award.
