Rodway Farm on Bridgwater and Taunton College's Cannington Campus is a commercial operation extending to over 200 hectares, providing arable, pasture and conservation areas while being home to several specialist livestock enterprises, including the dairy herd, which produces 9,500 litres of milk per cow per year.
Their 'Think Cow' initiative promotes a shared mantra that encourages everyone - tutors, employees and students alike - to put the needs and well-being of the cows first. They have submitted some excellent examples of their activities to our We Are Dairy Award, and we are delighted to share them with you.
The initiatives described were implemented over a period of two to three months with an investment of more than £20,000 in total to great effect. Milk production has increased, waste has reduced, and the welfare and well-being of the cows have improved.
