Our next VistaMilk impact case study highlights how advanced statistical modelling is improving our ability to predict milk processing performance.

This work focuses on the development of a Bayesian probabilistic least squares regression (bplsr) approach to predict milk heat stability — a key factor in determining how milk performs during processing and its suitability for different products.

By reducing prediction error and better capturing the complexity of milk composition data, this model provides a more reliable tool for industry decision-making, supporting improved product consistency and processing efficiency.

A key strength of this work is its accessibility. The model has been developed as an open-source tool, enabling uptake beyond the research environment and supporting wider application across the dairy sector.

It is a strong example of how combining data science with dairy research can deliver practical, industry-relevant outcomes.

Bringing together almost 100 researchers from 13 institutions, the VistaMilk Annual Conference is a strong reminder of what this centre represents in practice.

From soil, grassland, animal and food research to imaging, sensor and data science, today is about connecting expertise across disciplines that do not always sit in the same room.

Importantly, this also includes the social science perspective — from consumer analysis to generational renewal — ensuring that the research is grounded not only in technology and biology, but in people, behaviour and future farming systems.

Across discussions during the day the focus is clear: building a shared understanding and strengthening how this work fits together as one system.

Days like this matter. They create the space to connect, challenge thinking and shape a more joined-up approach to research that can deliver real impact.

As part of Science Week VistaMilk and joined forces to the science of technology in agriculture to the public. Dr Rosie Giglia hosted the Future Food seminar which looked at 3D and 4D printed foods.

Running all week is an exhibition on Dairy through the Decades in keeping with this years theme of Then. Today. Tomorrow 🥰 So be sure to pop in and see it 🐄

Vistamilk is at the National Ploughing Championships this week 🥳

You’ll find our VistaMilk stand inside the Teagasc tent Block 4, Row 13. GroundTruth has a display outside the Teagasc tent showcasing some of the underwear that’s has been dug up as part of our citizen science soil health project.

Some really interesting science so be sure to call in if you’re attending 🤓

Real-world solutions start with real-world problems. We want to hear from farmers about the biggest day-to-day challenges on farm. By understanding these challenges, we can explore how technology can provide practical, sustainable support.

What is the biggest day to day challenge on your farm?
