This study explores drivers and resulting changes in the structure and technical efficiency of Irish dairy farms from 2005 to 2018 (covering pre‐ and post‐milk quotas) during which milk production increased by 54%. Over this period, farm structure changed dramatically (fourfold increase in farmers milking >100 cows) and farmers improved technical efficiency and profitability and reduced the greenhouse gas emission intensity of milk produced. The impact of the adoption of key technologies at farm level and the contribution of strategic direction nationally (the Irish Government's Food Harvest 2020 Strategy) influencing this development are explored as are future sector challenges.

... In Ireland the requirement for a robust, holistic biosecurity audit tool has become more important with the recent major demographic changes in the dairy industry. Irish dairy farming is based predominantly on small herds (mean 90 cows) which are seasonal calving, pasture-based, and family-run (14). Nationally, there is high regional density of dairy cattle, high inter-farm cattle movements, with some infectious endemic diseases under legislative control (e.g., bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis, bovine viral diarrhoea), others under voluntary control (e.g., Johne's disease, mastitis/SCC, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) and many others with no recognised national control programme (e.g., leptospirosis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis) (15),. ...
