IN today’s episode podcast host Kerry Lonergan catches up with Dairy Australia’s Sustainable Animal Care Manager Dr Andy Hancock, on progress in beef production from dairy calves.
Dr Andy Hancock Dairy Australia
Dairy Australia, the industry equivalent of MLA, is seeking beef industry input into the project called Calfways – a contraction of Calf Pathways. Developed over the past 18 months, the project originates from a dairy industry policy to ensure all dairy calves enter a valued market chain by 2035, with no on-farm euthanasia of viable calves.
To achieve the industry objectives, the project is aiming to input 300,000 to 400,000 extra animals per year into the beef supply chain.
The Weekly Grill is brought to listeners by Rhinogard and Bovi-Shield MH-One, the One Shot, One Spray, One Time BRD Vaccines by Zoetis.
