A three-year comparison of once-a-day and twice-a-day milking in seasonal-calving pasture-based systems

A three-year comparison of once-a-day and twice-a-day milking in seasonal-calving pasture-based systems

ABSTRACT: Globally, the majority of dairy cows are milked twice a day (TAD); however, in pasture-based production systems, such as in Ireland, the idea of milking once a day (OAD) is being considered for reasons such as improved work-life balance. The immediate effects within a lactation, as well as...
