Dairy expo to boost all aspects of industry

THE All Africa Dairy School and Expo 2010 is taking place from April 12 to 16 at Mentorskraal Country Estate outside Jeffreys Bay and promises to be the dairy event of the year.

It was initiated by the organising committee of the expo which represents a broad cross-section of the interested and affected parties from all sectors of the dairy industry.

The expo will host practical demonstrations, and a mini-summit on all things dairy will be part of the programme.

The full programme will include various courses like cheese-making, yoghurt- and maas-making, herd health, feed and fodder flow, reproduction, obstetrics in cattle, training the trainer as well as a practical farm workers' course.

An exciting new addition to the expo is the school where a variety of courses will be offered during the week.

The primary objective of the courses is to provide knowledge and expertise to all role-players in the dairy industry in South Africa so primary producers can minimise their costs and maximise their profitability and/or effectiveness, with the overall aim of better meeting consumer requirements from dairy products for the local and international dairy markets.

The expo programme will be held over five days and will focus on practical strategies for achieving world-class performance; improvmg both human and animal health and hygiene standards and developing higher quality control in the dairy industry.

No-one connected to the dairy industry can afford to miss this great opportunity.

Come and spend a week immersing yourself in everything dairy.

Exhibition space is available in one of the halls where a wide variety of products and services will be on display, while there is space for large machinery outside.

When you attend the practical demonstrations and courses, renowned specialists will enhance your knowledge of the latest developments in the dairy industry.
