“Embracing the benefits of rotation planting! This year, I kickstarted with early maize silage, followed by teff grass under rain-fed conditions. Rotation not only improves soil health but also optimizes yield. Maize silage offers a high-energy feed option, crucial for livestock, especially in the early season. Grateful for nature’s cycles and the bounty it brings! #RotationPlanting #MaizeSilage #SustainableAgriculture”

“Technology should complement, not replace, the skills of livestock farmers and breeders,” says Helen Reeve, self-dubbed cow geek and passionate dairy farmer. 🐄🤓 On this #DairyDay and #BackBritishFarmingDay, Helen shares how livestock tech is transforming her herd management—without losing the hands-on expertise that makes British farming thrive. From health-monitoring collars (Fitbits for cows!) to milk metres, Helen’s tech + human approach boosts productivity while keeping her cows happy and healthy: https://lnkd.in/emb3-iWf 📊 Did you know? British dairy farms produce around 14.5 billion litres of milk each year! 🧀🥛 #AgriTech #LivestockTech #FarmingInnovation #DexterCattle 

One of the frequent questions asked during our Noble Essentials courses is how to manage livestock around ponds on a ranch or farm. Read more in our latest Noble Rancher article ⤵️

Gifting assets, such as equipment, livestock, land, or shares of an entity, is one of several ways to compensate family members in an operation, but it requires careful consideration of the guidelines. Read more » https://ow.ly/bwQz50RCalM #NebExt #ag #farmmanagement #farmsuccession

Water is not only essential to everyday life, it is also crucial in maintaining our thriving agricultural industry. Check out our tips on how to #ConserveWater and protect our local water supplies for farms and livestock. https://lnkd.in/ehmzzQ8J

Currently, I am conducting a door-to-door survey with farmers to learn about their experiences with milch animals and the challenges they face in dairy production. These conversations provide a direct window into the day-to-day realities of livestock management, milk yield, and the hard work behind each dairy product we enjoy. Each interaction not only adds valuable insights but also strengthens my appreciation for the dedication and resilience of these farmers. By understanding their needs firsthand, I hope to contribute toward initiatives that support sustainable improvements in the dairy sector. #DairyFarming #Agriculture #FarmerEngagement #LivestockManagement #FieldSurvey

PROJECTS WORLDWIDE🌍 📍We are in Australia, at a livestock plant. Due to the increase in livestock production, the initial requirement was for a pump with a higher flow rate and improved efficiency. ➡️After careful planning, we supplied a P16D series vertical lineshaft pump with a flow rate of 140 lt/s. Thanks to this installation, It has been possible to pump more water with the same energy consumption as the previous system, thereby reducing system costs.

Hybrid paper mulberry, a perennial woody tree, was developed in China to provide farmers with low-cost livestock fodder and improve soil quality on degraded lands. However, not many farmers in the Yellow River Basin are willing to plant it, even with high subsidy support. This brief provides insights into the possible constraints and suggests policy options to encourage its wider adoption. https://ow.ly/fXLu50Stuu6

Good morning, do I have any farming friends on LinkedIn who have successfully converted a steel vertical grain store into a water storage tank to supply a livestock system? Curious as to efficacy, water is more dense that grain, I presume it would be strong enough but might need a plastic liner despite being in good condition? There is some mention of it being done online but it would be good to speak to someone with experience via message, thanks in advance! (Video for attention only of an impressive water system on a beef farm I visited in Uruguay) #waterstorage #watersystem #repurpose

Better Nutrition : YES : nutrition is a cornerstone of sustainable development. Animal Source Foods ( ASF) including milk and dairy play a crucial role in addressing global malnutrition, supporting sustainable agriculture, and improving nutrition, which aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal ( SDG) 2. Key points include: -Global Malnutrition: 148.1 million children are stunted, 45 million are wasted, and over half suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Additionally, two billion people are overweight or obese. -Animal Source Foods (ASF): These foods, including dairy, are crucial for meeting global nutrition targets, reducing stunting and wasting in children, and preventing low birthweight and anemia in women. -Nutrient Bioavailability: ASF provides highly bioavailable nutrients, including high-quality proteins and long-chain fatty acids necessary for growth and brain development. Health Benefits of Dairy Across Life Stages: 🥛 Pregnant Women: Promotes healthy birth weights. 🥛 Schoolchildren and Adolescents: Increases height and reduces obesity risk. 🥛 Adults: Lowers risks of mortality, hypertension, stroke, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancers, osteoporosis, and fractures. 🥛 Older Adults: Reduces sarcopenia, fractures, frailty, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. 🥛 Cardiovascular Health: Despite being a source of saturated fat, dairy has a neutral or protective effect on cardiovascular health, as shown by meta-analyses and the PURE study, which linked dairy consumption with reduced cardiovascular risks and type 2 diabetes. Dairy thus can contribute to ending hunger and malnutrition, achieving food security, and promoting sustainable agriculture and well-being globally. #sustainablenutrition #SDG2 #dairy #nutritionmatters
