Labour productivity through efficient milk harvestingThis project aims to determine the most efficient milking methods and systems for future farms, taking account of labour input, capital cost and milk quality. |
Expected outcomes of this project
| Benefit |
| Greater labour efficiency, lower costs and improved overall productivity as a result of guidance on milk harvesting equipment and practices that minimise capital cost and labour input and maximise throughput and milk quality. |
| Improved milking efficiency leading to a reduction in the energy required to harvest the industries raw milk resulting in lower power costs. |
| Quantifiable data from which to base industry research needs and extension focus leading to a blueprint for technology use and milking practices on farms. |
