On-farm actions - Once-a-day milking

Once-a-day milking (OAD) is a farming practice where cows are milked only once each day. This method can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower feed costs, which may help keep farms profitable. Initially, cows produce less milk, but this can lead to lower feeding needs and cut labour expenses.

This guide explains some of the key things you'll need to think about before you move to OAD and provides tips on tracking your current emissions so you can see if the changes will be worth it.
