InterHerd+ workshop near Yeovil 3rd Feb, afternoon. FOC. For details see nmr.co.uk/events/

2013: SCC on 75% UK dairy herds below 238,000 – improved by 30,000 since 2010. Worth shouting about. #teamdairy nmr.co.uk/kpi-study-2013/

@VortexHolsteins Rachael Porter Pete Jackson 🐄🐮 Depends on your heat detection. Compare your herd to 500 others at nmr.co.uk/kpi-study-2013

78% of 6.6 million NMR milk samples in 2013 had SCC under 200K. Up for 6th year running. Any other country beat that? See #BritishDairying

Of the 1.4 million high SCC milk samples (>200K) analysed by NMR in 2013, 55% were from chronic cows #britishdairying #teamdairy

Over 50% cows with 1 high SCC are low next month. Drops to below 20% once cows have 2+ high SCCs. See nmr.co.uk/kpi-study-2013 #teamdairy

Great meeting Thurs evening at Penbode Vets, Bradworthy. 60 people from 30 farms benchmarking their SCCs & fertility against 500 NMR herds

See UK milk SCC improvements each year since 2007 in Farmers Weekly, p35. Top quality product improving each year #teamdairy #sosdairy

Another excellent morning with final year vet students at Glasgow on better use of information in vet practice.

Over 3,000 different herds/month were downloaded from NMR to InterHerd+ in 2013 by over 150 businesses.

60% of herd data downloaded from NMR to InterHerd+ are by veterinary businesses. Growing range of other users.

InterHerd+ now downloads data automatically from NMR and CIS. Also enter/edit data via Animal register / Event pad. youtube.com/watch?v=WZcAjV…

Control & erad of animal diseases: Congrats to staff in UK & Kosovo. Quoting EU monitoring report "This is a highly successful project"

Fifth annual KPI study for 500 herds (to end Aug 14) released. Free download at nmr.co.uk/kpi_study_2014/ #500herds

In 2014 half of UK dairy herds have SCC below 189,000 cells. In 2010 it was only 210,000. #500herds

In 2014 at least 56% of cows served by 80 days after calving in half UK dairy herds. In 2010 it was only 46% of cows. #500herds

In 2014 the calving interval is below 411 days in half of UK dairy herds. In 2010 it was only 424 days. #500herds
