Dairy farming has undoubtedly come a long way – and one aspect that stands out is the advent of the role of technology in the management of dairy farms. In this episode, we examine a key player in this scenario: precision technology. To analyze the way it's transforming the dairy industry by helping farmers streamline on-farm management based on significant data and towards a more precise approach, I talk with Dr. Joao Costa, who shares all his knowledge on precision feed and how technologies improve calf production.“We can't forget the basics, but we can't be stuck in the past.
