Keeping Cow with Calf

Keeping Cow with Calf - Bringing Innovation to Dairying In Scotland is an SRDP Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF) funded project, led by Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC).

The project seeks to establish evidence based information on cow-with-calf dairying systems, including:

• How a cow-with-calf system performs in terms of human, animal, environmental and financial health

• An economic analysis of the cow-with-calf system at a farm level; investigating calf growth, cow longevity, animal health and more

• What business models and marketing channels are available for cow-with-calf dairy products

• Creation of a prospectus for those looking to follow the system; pitfalls to note, finances, animal health considerations and more
