Dairy Women's Network has roped in New Zealand-owned milk replacer supplier AgriVantage as a network partner.

AgriVantage supports farmers throughout New Zealand to grow strong, healthy and productive animals.

With both organisations providing the industry with the resources to raise happy and healthy calves the partnership was a natural progression, says Dairy Women’s Network chief executive Jules Benton.

 The partnership means farmers and Dairy Women’s Network members around the country will have access to AgriVantage’s in-house team of rearing and nutrition specialists through national workshops and regional events. 

 “Along with providing the best technical advice, we focus on helping farmers to optimise the development and production capacity of their stock,” says AgriVantage South Island business manager Cheryl Farrar.

“We work with those who aim to improve their production capacity and we understand the value that women bring to farming businesses, so we are proud to partner with the Dairy Women’s Network to help make calf rearing both easier and more profitable.”
