Training is open to all and is recommended for those intending to sit an assessment.

These training workshops are run by our Calibration Assessors and take place regionally throughout the year.

The four hour workshop will guide you through theory and practical hands-on learning of the DairyNZ Body Condition Scoring system.

The workshop will provide you with:

• A good understanding of the need for and value of consistent standardised body condition scoring in the dairy industry.
• The ability to allocate appropriate condition scores to cows of varying condition using the DairyNZ method and field guide.

The Spring BCS events have now finished and there will be another round in autumn. To express interest in the autumn round of training workshops simply email the relevant team member below.  There is a fee to attend these events.

The programme has been developed as part of the Transforming the Dairy Value Chain Primary Growth Partnership programme, led by commercial partners, including DairyNZ and Fonterra, and partnered by MPI.
