Ribble Valley who are thinking about rebuild­ ing their herds and are s ta rt in g with a blank sheet of paper, M3 will enable them to plan ahead and focus on becoming one of the UK’s top 25% in terms of herd income, taking their herd average to 8,000 litres and beyond.


Mr Brown added:


“Dairy cow potential has increased dramati­ cally in the last decade due to widespread use of United States and Canadian Holstein genetics. Between 10% and 15% of British pro­ ducers have succeeded in maximising animal per- formance and most are now in the top 10% milk production bracket


nationally. “However, there are


still up to 85% of dairy producers who remain firmly committed to dairying, and many of them have high value cows whose true genetic potential has still to be


unlocked. “These producers are


running herds which we believe could improve


average output by up to an extra 3,000 litres per cow within two years and a t the same time improve health, fertility and overall welfare. We’re aware tha t some individuals


I* , t , v attempted this approach


in the past, however overall fertility efficiency and cow longevity have been compromised in the


process.” In the initial stages,


M3 evaluates a produc­ er’s herd, accommoda­ tion, cow health status, feeding system and the


' u n i t’s overall perfor­ mance data. Said Mr Brown: M3


is a new cutting edge management tool to help


all Ribble Valley produc­ ers identify the limiting factors of their dairy farming business and adopt professional


advice on how to progress with an accom- panying detailed strate­ gic plan. The pro­ gramme is backed by continuous measure­ ment, introducing disci­ pline to enable farmers initially to achieve their business goals and in tu rn , fine tune herd management. "In addition, M3


have makes a real time analy-


sis of the business identi­ fying what’s working well and why and any limitations. The assess­ ment is then rolled into a business plan s ta tin g clearly the u n i t’s new aims and objectives, tar­ get setting and imple­ mentation of an agreed


strategy. One of the keys to


M3’s real success after take-up will be constant monitoring and re-evalu- ation by every dairy pro­ ducer who has adopted the programme. Apart from a month­


ly comparative analysis and benchmarking


.against industry stan­ dards, metabolic profil­ ing and herd and fertility analyses will be imple­ mented in association with Edinburgh Univer­ sity Dairy Herd Health and Productivity Ser­ vice. Company n u tr i­ tionists will offer advice on feeding regimes and diet, while Mr David Whitaker of Edinburgh University’s DHHPS will be available to moni­


tor herd fertility. In addition, indepen­


dent consultant Mr Colin Orr will be work­ ing closely with Dugdale N u tr itio n on the pro­ gramme's development


and fine tuning. Commu n i c a t i o n


between farmers will be by telephone, fax or email. Farm visits will be offered, however their frequency will be careful­ ly structured for improved time-manage- ment and the very real requirement for bio-secu-


rity.Further information
