Many people today work very hard to improve their genetics. However, the end result of expression of the genetics through milk production, fertility and health is strongly influenced by their environment. To receive the benefit of higher milk production with each generation it is very important to support them with a nutrition program that allows them to express their genetic potential. In the process we look for more labour efficient ways to achieve this provided we design housing that allows them to stay healthy. Watch this video to see how robotic feeding can play a significant role and learn how to avoid decisions that can set you up for health challenges.
