Tomorrow's Dairying

Today

At SIDDC, our goal is to support the sustainable success of dairy both now and into the future.

Advancing our Industry

Everything we do at the South Island Dairying Demonstration Centre is focused on sustainable success. We implement research, technology and practices to protect our people, animals and our environment – both now and into the future.

SIDDC is an industry-funded partnership of seven leading dairy sector organisations who collaborate to promote the sustainable development of South Island dairying via demonstration activities, research, education, extension and training to farmers.

Lincoln University Dairy Farm (LUDF) is supported by the South Island Dairying Demonstration Centre (SIDDC).
