This week on Inside Dairy, we hear from Ornua’s Ciarán Aylward on the latest trends in dairy markets from supply and demand to future outlooks on milk price.

CEO of Kinisla, formerly known as Kerry Dairy Ireland, Pat Murphy discusses the co-op’s name change and we review the performance of the business in 2025.

With the weather forecast expected to pick up from the weekend and growth rates predicted to lift, managing grass quality and surpluses will be a challenge. Aidan Brennan and Daire Cregg discuss the best management practices for getting the next couple of weeks right.

Finally, on the breakdown we take a look at submission rates and what to do with those cows in the herd that have not yet cycled.
