Breeding dairy cows that produce less methane and nitrogen is helping one Tasmanian farm group meet its sustainability goals.
In a bid to improve the profitability, efficiency and fertility of his dairy herd, Padraic Harnan is using more LIC sexed semen than ever this spring, choosing top trait bulls that match up with his breeding animals.
In 2017 Brayden Johnston’s parents bought a farm and employed Bec and Brayden to manage it. The young couple were pleased to discover that their new herd was bred from top-quality LIC genetics. They have spent the past five years since developing the cows and improving the property.
Sansaw Estate dairy farm manager Breiffini Daly puts most of his success down to using top New Zealand AI technicians, quality semen and identifying bulling heats efficiently.
