To explore practical alternatives to traditional on-paddock wintering, DairyNZ partnered with the Ministry for Primary Industries through the Off-Paddock Wintering Infrastructure project.  

Southern Dairy Hub, local farmers and DairyNZ designed new infrastructure concepts that considered cow comfort, environmental outcomes, and cost. Insights from the project have been incorporated into updated guidelines to help farmers plan and implement successful infrastructure investments.
