Australasian Dairy Science Symposium 2024

This collection brings together selected research and review papers presented at the 2024 Australasian Dairy Science Symposium. ADSS is the largest meeting of dairy scientists in the southern hemisphere and has a unique focus on pastoral dairy systems. The 2024 symposium was a special occasion, marking 20 years since the first ADSS conference in Shepparton, Victoria. Papers in this collection highlight the wide range of dairy research presented at the conference including cow physiology, milking practices, workplace productivity, farmer sleep studies, methane, forage options and animal welfare. Also among the collection is research by early career researchers, highlighting potential future leaders in the Australasian dairy science community.

AN24299Comparison of suckling and artificial rearing on calf growth and milk requirements in pastoral dairy systems

Calf-rearing practises can influence calf development and milk sales for the producer, and consumer demands for high animal-welfare practises may require changes to future rearing practises. The aim of this research was to compare calf growth and milk requirements by using conventional artificial rearing with calves reared with their dam in a pastoral dairy system.
