New milk recording initiative launched for Lakeland Dairies suppliers
Lakeland Dairies and Progressive Genetics have come together in a new initiative to increase the number of Lakeland Dairies suppliers who are milk recording.
According to the two organisations, the initiative “will highlight the significant benefits of milk recording including the potential for better breeding decisions, enhanced herd performance and higher profitability”.
Preparation for incoming new dry cow therapy regulations is also a key consideration.
Research by Lakeland Dairies shows that one-third of the co-operative’s suppliers currently milk record. In total, almost two in three of all suppliers already have the facilities they need in their milking parlours to enable milk recording.
