Listen: The key messages from the Dairy Conference workshops

The coverage of the Teagasc National Dairy Conference in Limerick continues of this week’s episode of the Dairy Edge podcast.

The theme of this year’s conference was Robust Dairy Farming for Future Challenges. As part of the conference, there were six practical workshops which farmers could choose to attend and would benefit their own farms in the future.

These included: meeting herd feed requirements next spring; successful use of sexed semen in Irish dairy herds; controlling dairy production costs in 2025; managing young calves for better health outcomes; Clover 150 – lessons learned from 2024 and putting a plan in place for 2025; and trends in TB, reducing risk for dairy herds.

Presenters from each of these workshops feature on this week’s Dairy Edge, where they outline some of the key messages discussed on the day.
