Great day out with the Promar International Sustainability Team visiting the Genus PLC Bull Stud in Wales. Today we learnt: 🐂 More dairy farmers are changing their breeding policies to increase sexed semen on their top performing cows and heifers, with more beef genetics going on the remainder of the herd 🐂 Greater focus on traits such as calving ease, feed efficiency and fertility over purely productive selection 🐂 Increase semen quality and quantity though maintaining thermo-neutral conditions during semen collection 🐂 Increase genomic proved bulls with improvements in youngstock management, animal health and welfare, and rigorous indices ranking 🐂 Greater demand for Wagyu bulls My personal highlight was seeing the excellent quality of enrichment for the in-house bulls! #sustainableagriculture

Domestication of rabbits from the wild is recent. Rabbit production has several advantages over other farm animal production enterprises especially in terms of low cost and easily available feedstuff, high reproductive efficiency and above all, high profitability. #AnimalsSection #Rabbits

SenseHub™ Cow Calf offers farmers 24/7 animal monitoring, capturing behavioural information that helps a farmer to detect animals in heat and potentially sick beef cows. Farmers have an at-a-glance view of cows in potential heat, and can actively monitor their herd, even when they're away, allowing for a greater peace of mind from knowing that herd trends are being monitored 24/7. With this information, farmers are able to make informed decisions regarding their herd's reproduction and are empowered to enhance their control over breeding programmes. Make more knowledgeable decisions to optimise productivity with SenseHub Cow Calf – find out how it can be integrated into your farm here: www.sensehub.global #SenseHubCowCalf #farmwithmorefreedom

Hardly the answer to the issue! Animal welfare and climate change both have to be addressed together you can’t forsake one to benefit the other! Breeding animals that will live a despicable existence just so they can produce more milk is deranged. They still are impregnated/ stripped from their calves and treated deplorably! The answer is for farmers to raise less milk cows and grow more plants that can produce plant based dairy!

Isn’t it mind blowing to contemplate that every day around Australia so many farming activities are going on! Like clockwork; dairy cows are milked at the same time every day. 7 DAYS A WEEK. The milking data is collected, analyzed and is so precise that farmers can pinpoint individual cows which are not performing to their best potential. They then assess the cow for animal health issues and address it as needed. @dairyAustralia @daviesway @spanlift_sheds @belgennyfarm @futureddairy #milkingshed #australiaagriculture #dairyfarm #cows #farmlife #rurallife #agriculturesindustry #australiandairy #shedlife #agricultureimages #visualmarketing #farmingau #australianfarmers #ausag #farmonline #rurallife #ruralliving #countrylife #shareaustralia #aussieoutback #wow_australia #farmsofaustralia

Why meet us at @#IPPE2024? Fishmeal is a main source of raw material for the animal feed industry, for those seeking higher quality protein than soybeans. The problem is that fishmeal is primarily produced from wild-caught fish, which significantly damages the ocean ecosystem’s sustainability. As global awareness for environmental issues grows, there's increasing pressure to find more sustainable feed alternatives. Insect meal, and more specifically – Black Soldier Fly (BSF), is an excellent alternative. So why don’t we see BSF farms all over the place? There are several obstacles, and the main one is the reproduction phase– that can be solved with ta reliable, efficient and high-quality supply of neonates. This is where FreezeM comes in – we produce and deliver ready-to-use packages of pre-counted, life-suspended neonates. Timing neonates hatching in a 14 day window enables any facility worldwide to keep stock and stabilize production processes, significantly boosting production capacity. See you at @#IPPE2024!
FreezeM is gearing up for #IPPE2024, the leading event in the US for animal food production and processing! Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about cutting-edge black soldier fly breeding technology and innovative solutions. Looking forward to connecting with farmers and partners to shape the future of animal nutrition together.
