as at 2015, 6.49m dairy cows in NZ, of which 1,253,993 were in Canterbury.
Less than .0035% of total, 1.8% localised in Canterbury.
Also, cull cow kill per annum is far more than 22k
I think we'll cope without them.
As far as I know does Synlait get most (or all) of its A2 milk from mid and North Canterbury. The names of the A2 suppliers are not public knowledge, but we do know as well, that there is only one by the recent MPI proposals impacted herd in this area (van Leuwen Farm).So far I have found no information linking them to A2. So - before we all get too excited - I think it is fair to say that there is no known impact on the A2 supply.
Correct as well - this is (just) an animal health issue which effects basically all milk producers outside of NZ (and they can live with it), so, even if mycoplasma bovis decides to stay on our welcome shores, it would not be the end of the world.
RELAX!
