Progressus launches an enhanced Advanced Dairy Production AgriSchool for 2026

Modern dairy farms generate an enormous amount of information every day. The challenge is no longer collecting data, but understanding what that data is telling us.

The 2026 AgriSchool equips participants with the knowledge to analyze herd performance, identify underlying problems, and make practical management decisions that improve productivity, fertility, health, and profitability.

One of the major additions to the program is hands-on training using the Rumen8 ration formulation software. Participants will gain practical experience in balancing dairy rations, evaluating nutritional strategies, and applying feed formulation principles through guided exercises and real-world case studies.

Rather than simply learning nutritional theory, attendees will use professional tools commonly applied by dairy nutritionists to support better feeding decisions.

Another new highlight is the introduction of a comprehensive Herd Monitoring and Data Interpretation module. Using real dairy farm data collected from farms across Asia, participants will learn how to investigate herd performance indicators, recognize production bottlenecks, and convert information into practical corrective actions.

Topics include reproductive performance, body condition, rumen health, milk quality, mastitis, ketosis, milk fever, replacement management, dry cow performance, and overall herd efficiency.

Participants are also encouraged to anonymously review and discuss data from their own farms, creating a highly practical and personalized learning experience.

The program also expands its focus on troubleshooting common farm challenges. Dedicated sessions explore consistency in feeding management, advanced heat stress mitigation strategies, fertility management, rumen efficiency, and nutritional approaches that directly influence immunity and milk production.

Throughout the course, participants will develop their own farm action plan, enabling them to return home with practical strategies ready for implementation.

Designed for dairy farm owners, managers, veterinarians, nutritionists, consultants, extension officers, and dairy industry professionals, the Advanced Dairy Production AgriSchool combines expert instruction with interactive exercises and real-world problem solving.

Rather than simply teaching dairy production concepts, the program empowers participants to interpret data, diagnose issues, and make informed decisions that drive measurable improvements on the farm.

2026 Advanced Dairy Production AgriSchool

27–29 October 2026, ibis Styles Bangkok Ratchada, Bangkok, Thailand.

Participants will gain practical expertise in:

• ✅ Data-driven herd monitoring and performance analysis
• ✅ Hands-on feed formulation using Rumen8 software
• ✅ Nutrition strategies to improve fertility, immunity, and milk production
• ✅ Heat stress management and rumen efficiency
• ✅ Troubleshooting metabolic and production challenges
• ✅ Developing an actionable farm improvement plan

As dairy farming continues to become increasingly data-driven, the ability to translate herd information into management decisions is rapidly becoming an essential skill.

The 2026 Advanced Dairy Production AgriSchool has been designed to help dairy professionals build exactly that capability—transforming data into confident decisions and better on-farm results.
