One of the main attractions at the Moorepark Open Day last week was the infrastructure area.
With expansion in cow numbers and new conversions happening, a lot of money continues to be spent on dairy farms.
The key pieces of infrastructure are roadways, water and fencing. Next comes milking and then housing.
On milking, how many units can one person handle was dealt with on one of the boards.
Where there is full teat preparation (washing, stripping and drying), then one person can handle 14 units without ACRs.
One person can handle 22 units with no preparation while one person can handle 26 units with no preparation but with ACRs.
Copies of the open day booklet are available by emailing MKReception.UM@teagasc.ie or phoning Moorepark on 025-42458.
