The New Zealand dairy tech day will showcase practical solutions to improve efficiency and support profitable, pasture-based milk production - drawing on technologies developed in a climate and system similar to Ireland’s.
Places are free, but limited. Registration is required.

What’s on show
On the day, farmers will see a wide range of New Zealand-developed technologies currently being used on Irish farms, including:
Milking efficiency and automation: Waikato Milking Systems’ rotary parlour technology, MilkTechNZ automatic cup removers and Levno milk tank monitoring.Animal health and calf performance: mastitis detection tools from Bovonic and Mastaplex, calf-rearing systems from Milk Bar and colostrum management solutions from Shoof International.Genetics, grazing and inputs: genetics providers CRV and LIC, Gallagher’s eShepherd virtual fencing collars, Tow & Fert precision fertiliser and foliar sprayers, and feed-out equipment from Hustler.
A host farm built on efficiency
The event is hosted by Bruce Thompson, 2025 Kerry Dairy Ireland Biodiversity Farmer of the Year, at Camcloon Dairy, an eight-generation family farm in Ballyfin, Co Laois.
Bruce’s 380-acre, pasture-based enterprise milks approximately 300 Jersey/Friesian cows in a spring-calving system. The farm focuses on efficiency, converting grass into high-quality milk protein, while keeping environmental impact as low as possible.
Camcloon Dairy runs a Waikato Milking Systems rotary parlour and uses Levno's milk monitoring technology on their bulk tanks - offering visitors a real world example of New Zealand agri-tech delivering results on an Irish farm.
Agri tech you can trust
New Zealand has long been at the forefront of milking technology and farm data systems, being driven by the demands of large-scale, pasture-based dairy production.
Its agri-tech solutions are developed in close collaboration with farmers and tested in conditions comparable to Ireland’s climate and production systems.
Bruce said:
Few countries in the world can adopt and boast about a truly grass-fed milk production system.
"Adopting trusted and reliable technologies born in New Zealand to a very similar climate to our own has been a cornerstone of our family farm”.
Farmers attending the open day will have the chance to speak directly with suppliers, see the technology in use and learn how these solutions could fit into their own operations.
