Dairynz Tech Series: Dairy Science In Action

Taking the strain out of farming | Ep. 61

Synopsis

What do saloon doors and exosuits have to do with reducing injuries on dairy farms? They’re among a range of practical ideas DairyNZ is trialling to help farmers avoid sprains and strains, particularly around calving time. Hear about the designs and prototypes, including a new easy-entry calf trailer and a flexible breast rail, from DairyNZ senior scientist Dr Callum Eastwood and Waikato dairy farmer Marcus Graham.NotesThis project has been made possible through $900,000 of co-funding by ACC’s Workplace Injury Prevention programme, supported by a $150,000 investment by dairy farmers through the DairyNZ levy. Learn more at dairynz.co.nz/sprains-strains Other useful links: https://farmwithoutharm.org.nz/dairynz.co.nz/healthandsafetyfarmstrong.co.nz/course/preventing-accidents-and-injuries-versiontalkingdairy@dairynz.co.nz Have feedback or ideas for future episodes?
