🐄Will Tulley speaking at Dairy-Tech UK yesterday on the importance of data in cutting-edge nutrition.

The dairy industry has access to a wealth of on farm data, a trend that will only accelerate with the adoption of new technologies and AI. As Will highlighted, the real value lies in understanding how to turn this data into meaningful, real-time decisions on farm - improving herd health, wellbeing, and overall performance.

🐄 The Advanced Robot Review

Our Advanced Robot Review meetings continued into 2026, with our latest session held in Preston. The next meetings will take place on Tuesday 27th January in Uttoxeter and Chester, please get in touch if you’d like to attend.

These meetings reflect on the past ten years of our team’s work with robotic farms. Over that time, we’ve developed a truly unique dataset which, combined with the expertise of our diverse team, now underpins a powerful on-farm decision support system.

The discussion covered a wide range of topics, including data interpretation, farm economics, and animal health, with valuable insights shared throughout the day.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thanks to Nick Eccles and his family for hosting the afternoon farm walk.

We look forward to continuing these conversations at our upcoming meetings.

🐄 Congratulations to our Head of Technical and veterinarian, Will Tulley on successfully gaining his ARPAS Dairy Cattle qualification – another one to add to an already long list!

Will leads our research, training and education, and this highlights something we believe is uniquely important about our nutrition and management consultancy company (not just that we offer training!), but that it isn’t just about nutrition - it’s a big picture approach.

Our team includes people qualified across all areas of dairy cow management helping us support our clients in key areas such as transition management, fertility, mobility, health and housing.

Nutrition doesn’t work in isolation and that’s the important bit. It’s why we make sure, as a team, we’re equipped to look at the whole picture, not just what’s in the trough.

Well done Will - another great addition to our team’s growing range of expertise. 😀

🐄Microclimates - targeting energy for growth in colder weather

Keeping youngstock warm is critical to growth rates. A 2°C drop in temperature can require the equivalent of 20g extra milk powder per calf per day!

By using microclimates farms quite often see +2.5 degrees higher air temperature and a 0.04–0.08 kg/day increase in DLWG. Also, aiding the reduction in pneumonia cases which can save up to £44 per case.

So, what makes a good microclimate?
🐮Tall enough for calves to stand
🐮Low enough to retain heat
🐮Deep straw for nesting and insulation
🐮Mesh sides for airflow
🐮Easy to move and clean

Failing that even popping a bale in for the calves to huddle around can also be helpful.
