The Australian dairy industry has become the first in the world to release a national set of guidelines to help dairy farmers looking to invest in innovative feeding and housing solutions.

In this episode, Dairy Australia’s National Feeding and Farm Systems Lead, Karen Romano, and Program Manager, Dairy Services at Agriculture Victoria, Scott McDonald, talk about the development of the new National Guidelines for Dairy Feedpads and Contained Housing -  a comprehensive guide to help with decision making around establishing, modifying or use of some type of feedpad or dairy cattle housing.

It is equally relevant to farm owners, farm workforce members and advisers.
