    This week on the Dairy Edge, we continue our coverage from the Teagasc National Dairy Conference in Limerick.    The theme of this year’s conference was Robust Dairy Farming for Future Challenges. As part of the conference there were six practical workshops which farmers could choose to attend which would benefit their own farms in the future.    These included: •             Meeting Herd feed requirements next spring •             Successful use of sexed semen in Irish dairy herds •             Controlling dairy production costs in 2025 •             Managing young calves for better health outcomes •             Clover 150 – lessons learned from 2024 and putting a plan in place for 2025 •             Trends in TB, reducing risk for dairy herds      We hear from the presenters from each of the workshops who outline some of the key messages discussed on the day.   For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/   The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com
