Symposium
International Symposium on Dairy Cattle Nutrition 2024: Improving dairy cow lifespan – management for lifetime
Increasing dairy cow lifespan is an important factor in sustainable dairy farming. The age at culling is however the complex result of health incidences, fertility and productivity aspects during life. The carbon footprint and cow profitability could be increased by improving lifespan, as a reduction in replacement rates implies lower costs and losses of youngstock rearing. It is a challenge to further improve lifespan and lifetime production in support of the sustainability of the dairy sector.
This year the International Dairy Nutrition Symposium 2024 will be organised in Omnia at Wageningen Campus, The Netherlands on Tuesday 8 October 2024. Experts from the Netherlands and abroad will present their vision on different aspects of sustainability in the dairy sector.
Representatives from feed, feed additive and dairy industry, knowledge institutes and governmental organizations as well as veterinarians, students and others who are interested are welcome to attend the 2024 symposium!
