Dairy-Tech 2026

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 16:18:55 GMT

We’re proud to be Technical Sponsors at this year’s Dairy-Tech so come and visit our stand to discover how we’re supporting dairy farmers, with knowledgeable staff on hand to explain how your levy is delivering real value on farm.

Learn how we’re promoting British dairy through major campaigns such as Let’s Eat Balanced and our award-winning Milk Every Moment campaign in partnership with the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) – you might even spot our mascot Moovit the cow.

Discover how the levy supports genetic development through independent genetic and genomics data and new indexes like Feed Advantage and EnviroCow, which are helping farmers breed cows that are both economically efficient and environmentally responsible.

Find out how our levy-funded education programme is increasing children’s understanding of food, cooking and nutrition, and how our specialists are developing
overseas markets, supporting more than 30 companies as GB dairy exports head toward another record year.

You can also speak to us about our pioneering environmental baselining pilot to assess the environmental impact of farms across Great Britain. Along with the UK Dairy Carbon Network, which is working with over 50 farms to trial practical, farm-ready solutions to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
