We do not care what system you operate - that is very much an individual farmer choice – but we do care that you do it well, while optimising the welfare of animals, people and environment.” Dairy Production Systems’ clients operate through the whole range, from genuine system one - grass only, no purchased feed or grazing o - right through to ive plus, including certi ied organic farms, and those once-a-day milking all season. “In all cases sustainable success depends on understanding the cows, how they function and what they want. It is not a luke that the average 6 week In-calf Rate across Dairy Production Systems’ client base does reach target with minimal intervention - many exceed 75%. There is a strong correlation between six week ICR, comparative stocking rate and pro itability.” Optimising feed conversion e iciency - where the feed went, and how well it went - is dependent on well managed cows and feed. “This always includes pasture - grazed grass is still the single biggest individual feed across all farm systems. Optimising feed e iciency means less wastage of nutrients.” Dairy Production Systems’ tenet – “Well fed, well managed, happy productive cows make happy pro itable farmers.” To ind out how top farmers achieve these outcomes enquire about DPSL’s Farm Tutorial Workshops – see advert for details.
