Achieving Excellence in Dairying

I don't think this topic is too well named - stating the elementary obvious does not do much for achieving excellence - you can understand the cow all you like - what about owners, management and labour? - the most important thing in achieving excellence is the will - where there is a will there is a way

here in Vietnam we are facing the Man labor who has knowledge of dairy and willing to let their hands dirty at farm work? How about yours?

Ha Duong, I find that in a big dairy herd in KSA using middle to far east labour - you tend to get labour from non farming back rounds - you need people from dairy farm back rounds - people that are interested and like farm animals - people with an eye that can spot an animal off form early - this is a skill that is acquired from years of farming experience - it is very difficult to get these sort of people in the low cost labour market,

It is a simple presentation of managing dairy cows. The biggest challenge is labour of trained and committed individuals who are willing to soil their hands. I know people who have abandoned dairy farming because of lack of labour. What are you doing in your country?

The key factor for achievement in dairy farm is herd management or who manage the farm. Because dairy farm has too many factors( feed, labour, genetic, hygiene, health etc.) which affect success and profitabilty and good herd manager should merge and evaluate these factors and find best way for the achivement of the goals.....
