FRS launched the best milking practice in Milking Course in conjunction with Teagasc and AHI (Animal Health Ireland) in July of last year. The course itself proved to be a complete success. Almost four hundred farmers have upskilled their milking practices through the course and are in the process of receiving their highly commendable FETAC/QQI level 6 certifications.
The course is suited to all levels of expertise, catering for the beginners and the competent. Every area of the milking routine is covered during the course including; Preparation for Milking, Machine Parts/Components, Milk Quality (SCC&TBC), Mastitis Prevention, Washing Routines, Animal Diseases, Health and Safety and many other essentials aspects to ensure an efficient dairy system is in place.
