We are actively involved in all aspects of research, working with all areas of the dairy industry, investigating the latest techniques to improve milk quality, reduce mastitis on farm, and enhance dairy sector performance in other ways, such as reducing carbon footprint.
We collaborate extensively with both the commercial and public sectors in a range of products, from development of mastitis management protocols through to assessing the efficacy of new treatment regimes. We are able to offer facilities for both laboratory and field based research (conducted to VICH-GCP) and have access to a large group of farmers well acquainted with conducting clinical studies.
Recent projects include development of new methods for interpreting Johne’s disease test results, monitoring udder health in a “sentinel herd” population and development of a cloud-based platform for analysis of herd data and modelling the implications of management changes (still ongoing).
