Farmer study tour: Explore the Danish approach to profit through prevention

Apply now for our fully funded four-day study tour to Denmark (22–25 March 2026) to see how you can protect herd health, reduce disease risks and drive profitability.

Denmark is widely recognised for its leadership in animal health and disease management.

On this study tour, you’ll learn directly from farmers and researchers who have turned prevention into measurable on-farm success and explore how these proven approaches could work for you under GB conditions.

In Denmark, strict national standards and a proactive farmer mindset have delivered measurable results:

• Fewer disease outbreaks
• Stronger herd performance
• Reduced reliance on antibiotics

On this tour, you’ll see how similar approaches and practical measures could boost resilience and profit on your own farm.

• Real on-farm examples of proven practises Danish farmers have adopted, and the benefits these bring to reducing disease and protecting your herd
• Insights into real-world costs and the financial payback, helping you to prioritise changes to maximise returns for your business
• Opportunities for you to discuss, challenge and share Danish practices, to achieve positive outcomes on your farm and across the GB dairy industry

• On‑farm decision‑makers with a network to disseminate information
• Individuals with the motivation and mindset to improve herd health
• People who can amplify learnings beyond their own farm
• Those able to commit to the full tour itinerary and willing to actively participate throughout

Successful applicants will receive a fully funded place on the tour.

Spaces are limited to a core group to maximise discussion and interaction.
