Commenting on the industry support, Hannah Williams, Head of Events and Marketing for Holstein UK, “This year has been a challenge for everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic especially our younger members who have missed out on networking, educational and social activities.  The support that Crystalyx are providing is key for HYB at a national and local level.  This partnership will help us to further support, educate and shape the future for young dairy farmers and breeders.”

Graeme Warnock, Crystalyx Marketing Manager, further adds, “The partnership with Holstein UK is the perfect fit to complement our business and highlight the decade’s worth of research we have carried out in the dairy industry. Holstein UK’s mission of “breeding profitable, robust and productive dairy cattle” exactly mirrors the application of our Crystalyx products. Working closely with Holstein UK and its HYB members will allow our business to innovate and develop products that enable dairy farmers to become increasingly profitable and ever more sustainable”.

HYB is part of the wider Holstein UK organisation with over 1500 members aged 26 and under and 24 regional clubs throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. HYB aims to educate, inspire and support the next generation of individuals choosing the dairy industry as their future career.
