Farm

Australia's dairy farmers have a history of embracing and adapting to change. Today they are preparing for higher milk production costs, uncertain climatic conditions, and limits on national herd growth by arming themselves with the most current information about the dairy industry and market conditions.

The People in Dairy

The People in Dairy program is designed to help farmers improve how they attract, deploy, retain and develop the people they need to achieve the strategic vision they have for their business.

Feeding cows

Growing, conserving, buying and utilising feeds more effectively to produce milk can dramatically improve profits on your farm. Dairy Australia feed programs help farmers improve feeding processes, and improve profitability.

Milking Cows

Milking cows is an exercise that is undertaken everyday on most farms. Efficient and effective milking affects both farmer lifestyle and farm profitability in a number of ways.

Animal Health

Animal Health affects both the wellbeing of cattle and the profitability of dairy farms. Lameness, Bovine Johnes Disease, Enzootic Bovine Leucosis, and mastitis are important health issues.

Regional Development Programs

Regional Development Programs were established in the 1990s in each of the dairying regions of Australia to provide the national dairy industry with a unique perspective of the dairying regions across Australia.

Saving Water in Dairies

Under dry seasonal or drought conditions around Australia, many farmers are looking at options to reduce their water consumption in the dairy.
