Dairy Innovation Day is DairySA’s premier annual event, bringing together South Australian dairy farmers, industry experts, researchers, and service providers for a day of knowledge-sharing, innovation, and networking. Hosted in Mount Gambier, the 2025 event focused on the theme “Cows and Carbon Can Be Friends,” exploring the intersection of productivity, sustainability, and climate-smart practices in modern dairying. The program featured practical demonstrations, leading-edge research, and keynote presentations from national and international speakers, offering insights into carbon accounting, feed management, genetics, and on-farm sustainability.

The day not only provided technical updates and tools to support profitable, low-emissions dairying but also created space for connection among farmers and industry stakeholders. With strong support from sponsors, a showcase of local suppliers, and a vibrant atmosphere, Dairy Innovation Day continues to be a must-attend event on the South Australian dairy calendar—driving conversations and actions that shape the future of the industry.
