Check the temperature in your calf housing - it gets hotter than you might think #heatstress #calfrearing #Heatwaveuk https://t.co/W6L8SPEi4R

Great workshop with Bryan McKay this morning on New Zealand Dairy Systems. Interesting to hear some farms are moving towards housing cows and increasing grass efficiency at the same time. #totaldairy @AHDB_Dairy

[John Baggs @jr_baggs]

Key points from workshop with Tom Greenham on improving milking parlour efficiency. Really interesting talk. Sounds like dynamic testing is very important to optimise parlour settings #Totaldairy @AHDB_Dairy

Don Niles @TotalDairy provides a simple tip to stimulate respiration in slow starting calves, pouring chilled water in to the ear to instigate a controlled shock to start breathing #keepitsimpletogetpositiveresults

Improve solid feed intake in pre weaned calves offer chopped forage at 2 to 2.5cm #sizematters #TotalDairy

@farmerfunk @AHDB_Dairy If only everyone rearing calves asked themselves "Would I put my new born baby in that environment?". If the answer is No, then look at how you can improve it. Hygiene, dry bedding, clean water and air flow wouldn't be bad places to start. #teamdairy

Fascinating workshop with Don Niles this afternoon on The Modern Bovine Maternity Ward. Impressive attention to detail on his herd in Wisconsin #TotalDairy @AHDB_Dairy

Do you disinfect your hoof trimming knives between cows/farms? Amy Gillespie shows knives are still PCR positive for treponemes 5 days after innoculation! Lab work on disinfectants now being rolled out to farm situation. #Totaldairy @IGHLiverpool @AHDB_Dairy

Colostrum fed from protein restricted cows resulted in poorer passive transfer compared with colostrum from well fed cows. Alex Bach #Totaldairy @AHDB_Dairy

[John Baggs @jr_baggs]

Great talk from Don Niles about using farm data to decide on which technologies to invest in. #TotalDairy @AHDB_Dairy

[John Baggs @jr_baggs]

#TotalDairy Take home messages from Professor Alex Bach. Heifers are a big investment so look after them well. Extremely interesting lecture. @AHDB_Dairy

Giving transition cows a nice cooling mist.

@DerrickJosi Hear hear, food has never been cheaper, 70's over 25% monthly income now less than 9%, in reality food is too cheap and farmers themselves are supporting cheap food thru their capital assets and diversifications, some even working off farm @michaelgove @annietrev

[John Baggs @jr_baggs]

Great day at #StraightLineBeef yesterday. Nice to see some of our former cattle happen in their new home. Thanks @robdvet

[Stuart Roberts 🔸 @HertsFarmer]

With empty supermarket shelves it’s worth reflecting on how quickly food supply chains can be interrupted. A reminder to everyone about why secure domestic production is worth valuing. Food supply chain security is not something Society can afford to take for granted.

It was a pleasure to host the winner (Kenton Bennett from Perry Farm, Dorset) & the runner up (John Baggs from Worgret Manor Farm, Dorset) of the Health & Welfare award @dairyawards last night. The whole evening was a great credit to #BritishDairying & the industry as a whole.

Today is #worldcancerday. We at #Februdairy take #cancer extremely seriously, having suffered, survived but also lost friends and family. It’s wonderful to see research indicating that #dairy product consumption may reduce the risk of #breastcancer. https://t.co/GtKYdkuYNE

New ventilation system fitted in our calf barn. Using @fevertags1 to monitor improvements.
