Previously a very expensive system, ATL's innovative design has reduced the cost dramatically bringing it within the reach of most dairy farmers. Auto-ID speeds the milking process, helps maintain the herds' health and in the long term will be instrumental in checking diseases such as BSE by means of a computerised database. The ceremony will take place during the morning of Tuesday 1st July at the Royal Show at Stonleigh in Warwickshire. So, it's official. It is this arrangement that has slashed the cost of Auto-ID and most impressed the award judges.
