[Survey]
TDN is on a mission to promote Cow-Calf Contact (CCC) systems across Europe—and we need your input! Whether you’re a farmer, advisor, veterinarian, or part of the wider dairy industry, your perspective is crucial to shaping the future of sustainable dairy farming.
1️⃣ Survey for Farmers, Advisors, and Vets
If you’re directly involved with dairy farming, we want to hear from you! This survey is open in 10 languages (EN, DA, ET, FR, DE, EL, IT, NO, RO, SV) and gathers experiences from those already using CCC, just starting, or even skeptical about it.
Your input will help:
- Develop practical best-practice guides for CCC systems
- Create farmer-led living labs to tackle real challenges
- Provide recommendations for advisors, researchers, and policymakers
- Build tools for those starting with CCC
⏰ Open until 31 October 2025

Your contribution will help:
- Map the current European status of CCC breeding, production, and retail
- Identify barriers to including CCC products in the market
- Share best practices and solutions across the industry
