Call for dairy farmers to install robotic rotray
Dairy’s top young researchers are tackling some of the big challenges likely to face the industry in the
coming years including climate change, fertilisers and animal health and welfare.
Breeding cows to be milked by robots
Dairyfarmers considering automatic milking systems (AMS) frequently ask what percentage of their herd will need to be culled as having udders that are unsuitable for robotic cup attachment.
Robots are coming to Kiama
With increasing numbers of Australian dairy cows now being milked by robots, researchers are looking at a range of exciting ways to use robots on farm, and one that has already shown promise is the use of robots to herd cattle from the paddock to the dairy. Delegates at the Dairy Research Foundation’s symposium, to be held at Kiama on 4, 5 July will get a sneak peak of Rover, a prototype robot, in action.
