The Milksure course is aimed at minimising the chance of medicine residue and reducing antibiotic resistance on dairy farms. The course is delivered by a Milksure champion who will go through the training and on farm risk assessment. The last part is a short online test which once completed means the farm is fully accredited for a year. An annual online practical assessment acts as a top up renewal.
Paragon offer practical farm training aimed at improving both livestock and business performance. Our courses are available through FarmSkills and are fully certified. Farmers receive workbooks to help support learning and certificates issued on completion of the course. Farmer feedback scores remain extremely high across the courses and offer great value for money.
