This special issue of Animal Production Science brings together a collection of research and review papers presented at the 2022 Australasian Dairy Science Symposium. The Australasian Dairy Science Symposium is the largest meeting of dairy scientists in the southern hemisphere and has a unique focus on pastoral dairy systems. The theme of the 2022 symposium was ‘A Changing Climate for Dairy Science’ so while this special issue includes papers on a range of topics including dairy cattle welfare, extension and adoption pathways, impacts of heat stress, supplementary feeding, artificial breeding technologies and novel milking schedules a common theme throughout the papers is addressing the challenges faced by the Australian and New Zealand dairy sectors.
