NGO Dairy Cluster, Oulu Univerisity (Finland) and Estonian National rural network are organizing a bilingual webinar related to their R&D topics on monitoring cattle health, silage quality and feeding. The webinar is targeted to farmers and advisors and therefore, the practical aspects, costs and benefits are on focus. In Finland, the webinar is linked to a seminar held in Sarkamessut fair in Seinäjoki.
The program will be completely bilingual. The presentations are given both in Estonian and Finnish in parallel sessions, and live discussions are translated simultaneously.
