Stimulate the efficiency of phosphates and minerals

In Europe dairy farmers are limited in their business management by the phosphate regulations introduced on 2 July 2015. If they want to grow without purchasing extra land or extra phosphate rights, they simply have to produce more milk per kilogramme of phosphate. This requires a careful strategy, which may vary from one company to the next.
