The 'New Red Tractor standard on calves and how to comply' event is one of many events listed. View all events.
The welfare of dairy-bred calves is a key area of focus within the industry. The rearing of dairy-bred calves for the beef market on farm remains high, and a number of industry initiatives continue to champion improvements in calf health, welfare and survival.
Join AHDB, Red Tractor and NFU for a panel discussion on:
On the panel we have Warwickshire dairy farmer and Chair of the Red Tractor Dairy Board, Angela Rhodes. Dairy farmer and chair of the NFU Cymru Milk Board, Abi Reader and Laura Awdry, a calf rearer from Wiltshire.
In Britain we pride ourselves in being pioneers in dairy cattle welfare. It is a top priority for the sector, and our farmers take the lead to develop and enforce the highest animal welfare standards on our farms. There is still room for improvement, and as an industry we must continue to challenge ourselves to keep progressing in these areas. The Dairy Calf Strategy highlights the top priorities for industry and can be found here.
The new Red Tractor Standard can be found here.
Any farmers who want to hear about the new Red Tractor Standard and are interested in providing the best environment and management methods to raise healthy, profitable calves.
