Benefits to farmers
Dairy farmers are also being trained to diversify and multi-skill their farming activities.
'Thorgard's role will be in the management of PMU farmers collection, horse welfare and
nutrition, preliminary processing and quality assurance of urine concentrate,' Mr Vella said.
'Our company believes that conversion of dairy farms to horse farming is the most viable
way to commence NECS farming operations in Australia. This is because of their existing
farm infrastructure, the suitability of climate and geography for horse farming, close
proximity of farms and transport infrastructure, and the potential to utilise dairy
processing facilities,' he said. Farmers are also conversant in agriculture hygiene
to meet the requirements to produce an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API).
NECS Farming is very similar to dairy farming.
The device may also be applied to cattle.
