The dairy industry is constantly evolving

Guests were also taken on a guided tour of the newly constructed soils and silage laboratory in the centre as well as the Dairygold feed mill.

ASA president and head of commercial for Dairygold Seámus O’Mahony said: “The dairy industry is constantly evolving and we always aim to ensure our members are fully briefed and up to speed with such changes by hosting events such as Dairy 2020.”

CEO of Munster Bovine Kevin Coffey said: “In climate change, a real focus on actions that are outcome- rather than activity-driven is beneficial to farmers. AI and milk recording are two readily available technologies that can be used on every farm today.”
