“Your films have made a real difference. Our farmers are applying what they have learnt. Their cows are healthier and giving more milk.”

“The number of cows served with AI has increased significantly as a result of your videos. This will improve the quality and productivity of future cows.”

Quality educational films for small-scale dairy farmers

Dairy School is a nonprofit educational initiative of Peter Edmondson, an experienced dairy vet with over 45 years practising in the UK and overseas. For the last fifteen years he has been voluntarily supporting small-scale dairy farmers in Africa and Asia.

We provide high quality educational films for small-scale dairy farmers around the world. A small-scale dairy farmer has less than 20 cows, but the majority have less than five and many have only one or two.

We use films to provide essential practical skills and knowledge that directly benefits dairy farmers. Our films are available to watch free on the Dairy School YouTube channel.

Dairy School films are now being shown at community level in Malawi and Zambia. Several of our films have been translated into local languages such as Chichewa, Nyanja, Bemba and Tonga. This makes the content more accessible and significantly increasing audience learning.

We provide educational films to improve the lives of small-scale dairy farmers and the welfare of their animals
