Summary
This project developed a series of farmer and adviser manuals for tropical and temperate small holder dairy farmers, in order to improve their management practices so as to increase the performance of Australian imported dairy heifers. A series of checklists was also developed to record current farm practices in six main areas; feed production, feeding management, herd management, housing, milking management and general farm management. A set of key recommendations has been developed for the live dairy export trade.
