 This week on Inside Dairy, Aidan Brennan and Daire Cregg dig into the latest trends shaping dairy farms, from fluctuating grass growth rates to the challenge of controlling docks. They also look at the current outlook for milk prices, including updates from Carbery and what’s happening in the milk league. With breeding season underway, the lads discuss key priorities on-farm, along with practical advice on weaning calves and how much meal to be feeding. In the Breakdown segment, they take a closer look at minerals for dairy cows and why getting it right is critical at this time of year. The interview is with Chris Maughan, product and technical manager with Whelehan Crop Protection Plus, key takeaway points for the week ahead – from managing grass supply, to monitoring submission rates and mineral intake.  Hosted on Acast.
