Milk forecasting calculator

Understand how changes to herd size, yields or calving patterns affect your milk production. 

Our calculator uses on-farm information alongside herd lactation curves to show your herd's milk production potential.

Projections can be made over a three year period and feed costs added to see the impact of any changes over time. 

You can also compare your current system against a range of alternative scenarios and includes profiles for spring and autumn block calving herds supporting our optimal dairy systems approach.
