Public benefits

The public benefits that flow from the purpose of promoting the improvement of the breeding of Holstein cattle in NI are:- (i) The advancement of animal welfare by increasing the efficiency of dairy cattle, specifically the Holstein breed, in a sustainable manner consistent with environmental protection throughout Northern

Ireland. (ii) The provision of information and services that inform and support the breeding decisions of dairy farmers and inform the general public. (iii) The education of the agricultural community and the general public through the provision of animal information and statistics, open meetings, farm walks, open days and club tours where best practice can be viewed and demonstrated. (iv) Contributing to and improving the social welfare of the rural community by organising open days, farm walks and club tours. These benefits can be evidenced in records kept by the organisation of the numbers of those of all ages who have attended open meetings, open days, farm walks, club tours and who have requested information from the organisation. Some small private benefit is obtained by the dairy farmers who use the services of the organisation but this is ancillary to the main purpose and is greatly outweighed by the gains in public benefit. No harm arises from these purposes.
