Adapting dairy farming systems

This project will support Australian dairy farmers by providing new information and tools to assist farmers who may be considering investing in new feeding and housing systems.

This project aims to address the underperformance of some dairy farm businesses through better understani=ding of the potential in cow, infrastructure, feedbase and farming system productivity with a focus on intensified dairy production systems in New South Wales (NSW).

Activities will determine the economic viability of intensive dairy systems in NSW, as well as current and future impediments for these production systems.
