Calf play is more than fun โ itโs welfare. Using accelerometers, researchers have validated activity measures as a way to detect play. Tech meets animal behaviour. #GBCalfWeek @SRUCResearch

Faster heifer growth + reduced replacement rates = better margins and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Calf performance links directly to farm sustainability. #GBCalfWeek

Detecting respiratory disease is tough. @SRUCResearch has refined a health-related quality of life tool for calves โ going beyond clinical signs to behavioural measures. Welfare science in action. #GBCalfWeek

Hygiene matters. @SRUCResearch with Scottish dairy farms shows where colostrum contamination builds up โ from teat to bucket to storage. Practical steps can make the difference between immunity transfer & disease risk. #GBCalfWeek

Colostrum counts: New research on dairy sire breeding values shows we can select for colostrum quality & passive immunity traits. Early-life resilience starts before the calf even drinks its first feed. #GBCalfWeek @SRUCResearch

There's a pause on #REF2029 - but we need a genuine reduction in burden and clarity so we can get on with it. We must champion and reward research & innovation in all forms and places, and support academic endeavour across all types of organisations. #REFforAll

Thanks @GMB & @SwainITV for stopping by @sruc to meet Hilda & @dadyo32. ๐ Sheโs been bred based on her genomic result for methane emissions combined with IVF and sexed semen. ๐งฌ The application of these tools could reduce GHGs by 20-25% in just 5-6 years. ๐จ
At first glance, Hilda may seem like just another cow in the herd, but her arrival could change the UK's dairy industry forever. Born through IVF, Hilda's genes have been modified to reduce methane emissions by limiting how often she burps. ๏ผ swainITV meets Hilda and speaks to

@SRUC Mike Coffey talks to @SkyNews about #CoolCows Hilda and the research underway with @semexUK @paragonfarmvets
"This is the first calf that's been born and bred expressly for reduced methane emissions in dairy cows." Professor Mike Coffey tells Sky's @LeahBoleto why the birth of Hilda, the first calf to be born via IVF, is "a big moment". https://t.co/PAiZ4D1jU3
