THOUGHTS ▶▶▶ D Remember the basics
airy farm technology is advancing at a phenomenal pace. Concepts to make (dairy) farmers’ lives easier are always progressing, from feeding robots to new-generation milking equip- ment. It’s an exciting time in the industry! Everywhere you look there is a new innovation being developed, new ways to capture or use data, the promise of better technology and
a more sustainable dairy farming future. But with all this going on and with so much offered in terms of new innovations, it’s also important to remain focused on the basics – like calf care. Hygiene is a huge factor when it comes to dealing with calves. So much so that if this aspect is not looked after, it will cause a domino effect on-farm. The truth is, what farmers do or do not do will show up in the bottom line and in the future performance of animals. Not only is it important to practise excellent hygiene when dealing with calves, but care should be taken when moving between animals – from cows to calves, for example. Therefore, while new technologies can be a huge advantage, the basics like high standards of hygiene build a strong farm foundation. Read more on page 6 about the basics of how to keep calves thriving, and have a look at page 11 for new machines that can boost on-farm practices.
