Here is what the recent FAO report really stated. The figure shows various interventions that reduce the footprint of animal source foods as well as that of consumer behavior (i.e. food waste and diet change).
NMR Gold Cup - advantage of Lely robot. Mike Steele: ability to continually upgrade existing system. Operational support and technical support. #reprorockstars
NMR Gold Cup - Mike Steele: 39.6 litre average, 419 calving interval 24% replacement rate. 3 Lely robots. Why robots? Looking to future, scalability. Difference for people - family focus & enjoy being a Dad! Difference for cows - welfare & cow makes the choice #reprorockstars
NMR Gold Cup - Mike Steele. Welfare is a key priority to optimise production as seen on this farm. Rubber flooring, curtain system to assist ventilation. #reprorockstars
At NMR Gold Cup Open Day today - key success factors highlighted in opening session 1. Success for all generations on farm, 2. Investment in technology 3. Emphasis on team. Great take home messages! #reprorockstars
Fabulous opportunity for a veterinary colleague to come & join a great team making a real difference with our dairy farming clients and professional colleagues around Europe. Don’t miss out on this opportunity! DM me for an informal chat to find out more! https://t.co/qxf8qrfo5d
The vet schools have failed if students continue to graduate believing that when cases go wrong it is all due to lack of factual knowledge. Over the last 20y @theRCVS & @VetDefenceSoc have accumulated a vast body of evidence that the "non-technical" skills are key #ReflectionFTD
@PhilFarmVet The older ones are easy to look at critically- but the younger ones need to hit target weight at calving - they can be as costly as those older girls if they don’t. Sometimes it’s best to “weight”. Knowing specific farm matters to interpret best! Thanks for sharing!
