Professional experience:
I have been involved in the dairy business for fifty years starting as a dairy hand, progressing to herd manager and eventually to an adviser to dairy farms in need of professional help. During this time I continued with my academic studies in animal husbandry and agricultural economics.
I was the founder and a director of one of the regional milk laboratories established to eradicate Strep. agalactiae from Israeli dairy herds and shortly after the establishment, in 1998 of "The national service for udder health and milk quality" I began working as a Milking Management Adviser with dairy herds in the South of Israel.
After my retirement from the "National Service" I am working internationally as an independent Udder Health and Milk Quality Specialist specializing in Milking Management, Parlor Specification and Operation as well as teaching at the Israeli Dairy School and Galilee Institute.
