Dairy producers planning to attend this year’s World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., will have the opportunity to visit three of the country’s most progressive robotic dairies in a one-day tour organized by DeLaval.
 
“If you’re coming to World Dairy Expo, and thinking about switching to robots, you will not want to miss this VMS PROductivity Tour,” said Francisco Rodriguez, Marketing Manager, Automatic Milking Systems and Feeding. “We will show dairy producers how the latest technology from DeLaval can help them increase their productivity, take better care of their cows and sustain their way of life.”

The purpose of the Profitable Pasture conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management.
