Welcome to the TransformDairyNet survey
Do you own or work for a breeding organisation, dairy company or retailer of dairy and/or meat products? If so, we would be very interested to hear your views and opinions on cow-calf contact (CCC) systems and would be grateful if you could spare about 10-15 minutes to participate in our survey.
We are TransformDairyNet, a European Knowledge and Innovation Network that aims to support the wider adoption of CCC practices across Europe. As CCC systems, we understand any housing or management where dairy calves have contact to either the mother or a foster cow for a prolonged time after the colostrum period.
Your participation in this survey will help us understand the current Europe-wide status of breeding for CCC systems and the inclusion of CCC products in local ranges and services. It will also help us to compile and share possible solutions and best practices for doing this the future. If you have any objections to CCC or knowledge of specific local barriers to the inclusion of CCC products, we would also love to hear your views.
Thank you in advance for your time and support!
