Animals are at the heart of every farming business. To support the sector in achieving high levels of animal welfare, DairyNZ has been interviewing farmers about their animal care practices for over a decade. Join us as DairyNZ Lead Advisor Animal Care Penny Timmer-Arends and Animal Care Consult Contractor Hannah Fulton, talk about how the information from the consult is used to track changes in practice, inform extension activities and future research, and enlighten submissions to government when advocating for practical, outcome-based rules.
