The collaborative Waimea catchment project is driving successful outcomes for meeting future nitrogen limits and staying profitable.

DairyBase provides a range of benchmarks for dairy farmers based on ownership, location, and production system, such as organic or winter milk farms.

A collaborative project is underway between farmers, DairyNZ and other stakeholders in South Canterbury, to analyse and support implementation of solutions that further decrease nitrogen in water and help ensure farmers can meet plan change rules.

When you register to use DairyBase you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

When it comes to improving water quality, what does best practice look like? Join us as we talk to DairyNZ Senior Water Quality Scientist Dr Katrina Macintosh and AgResearch Senior Scientist Dr Richard Muirhead.

The interview process is a chance to showcase your strengths and suitability for the role! Being well prepared for the different types of interviews can help ease your nerves and lets you put your best foot forward.

An intro into the roles on a dairy farm, where to find the right role for you, understanding what you need in a job and how you can progress your career in dairy.

The DairyNZ-led, Low N Systems research programme investigates stacking (or combining) management strategies and mitigation technologies on dairy farms to deliver reductions in nitrate leaching of over 40%.

Genomics is the use of DNA to predict the future potential and profitability of dairy animals.

Inbreeding in cattle is when an animal's DNA is identical because it comes from a common ancestor on both parents' sides. This page explains how inbreeding coefficients estimate the expected degree of inbreeding, but these aren't always precise.

Senior Freshwater Ecologist

A new multi-year programme of work, led by AgResearch and jointly delivered by DairyNZ, is working with farmers to understand and reduce E. coli losses into waterways.

Employing staff from overseas on your dairy farm involves complying with New Zealand's latest immigration rules and regulations.
