Summary
Increasing numbers of Australian dairy animals are being exported to countries seeking to improve their production of milk and dairy products.
A guide to dairy herd management has been developed for distribution to dairy farmers and organisations in the countries that source Australian dairy heifers. It highlights the important dairy herd management practices required to reduce undue stress on unadapted, high genetic merit dairy heifers once they arrive at their destination. This document is in English only. Therefore the funds allocated to this project translated this document into 5 languages that represent our 5 main importing countries that have growth potential, China, Russia, Pakistan, Turkey and Indonesia.
