The DairyMix team has been quite busy as we edge closer to the autumn season.
A highlight of our recent activities was Xabier Diaz de Otalora’s Invited Talk at the EAAP – European Federation of Animal Science Conference in Florence. The talk, aptly named “Towards future sustainable dairy farming systems: An Integrated, adapted and circular approach,” showcased the impressive work conducted during the MilKey Project and DairyMix Project. The participants included Aurelie Wilfart, Joanna Fratczak-Müller, Lorraine Balaine, Giorgio Ragaglini, Federico Dragoni and Barbara Amon.

Meanwhile, at the 53rd Congress of the Italian Society for Agronomy (SIA) in Matera, Italy, Giorgio Ragaglini and Nicola Alessi from the Università degli Studi di Milano presented a poster titled “Modelling cropping systems of case study farms to assess nitrogen use efficiency and circularity of Dairy Production Systems”. It was authored by Nicola Alessi, Serena Bonizzi, Marco Botta, Mara Gabbrielli, Maddalena Enrica Zucali, Anna Alfea Sandrucci, Federico Dragoni and Giorgio Ragaglini. The research is focused on assessing the nitrogen use efficiency and circularity of dairy production systems in Europe. More details about the conference can be found at: convegno.siagr.it
At the EmiLi2024 conference International Symposium on Gas and Dust Emissions from livestock in Valencia, David Janke gave a compelling talk. Entitled “Experimental investigation of a low-cost online monitoring tool to manage barn climate and emissions from livestock housing systems,” the talk’s authors included David Janke, Harsh Sahu, Wajif Umar, Kobe Coorevitz, Redmond Shamshiri, Long Chen, Thomas Amon, and Barbara Amon.
