Virtual Fence Meets Pasture Nutrition for Maximum Productivity
TOPIC: Nutrition
Well‑managed pastures can deliver highly digestible, protein‑rich forage. Pasture alone rarely provides a perfectly balanced diet, especially for high‑producing dairy cows. What you choose to supplement with can dramatically influence milk yield, components, body condition, and even reproductive performance. Supplementation isn’t just “extra feed”-it’s how you correct the nutritional gaps that pasture creates.

Drone Tools for Dairy: From Research to Real-World Use
TOPIC: Emerging Technology
Drones are becoming useful tools on dairy farms and in research, providing new ways to observe fields, animals, and environmental conditions. This webinar will highlight field trials that explore drone applications in dairy systems. Speakers will share what these projects have taught us, how drone-based measurements compare with traditional methods, and what the results may mean for real-world use.
