Video: New environmental index rewards Jersey efficiency

We talked to LIC Environment & Welfare Manager Tony Fransen about the new HoofPrint® index - a 10-point ranking system developed to help farmers make more informed decisions about the environmental efficiency of the milk they produce.

The index reinforces the efficiency of the Jersey breed, with the Jersey Premier Sires team rating a 10 for methane efficiency & a 9 for nitrogen efficiency.
