Grass+

Grass represents the highest volume and the cheapest form of feed in the dairy ration - how it is used and managed varies greatly according to the farm system.

grass+ covers all aspects of grassland management and includes organic sward management, improving efficiency of fertiliser use, buffer feeding and managing high yielders at grass. grass+ sets a challenge to achieve at least 10 tonnes of utilised dry matter (DM)/ha of grazed grass at a cost of £80 per tonne DM.

It brings together research from DairyCo and other organisations around the world to make it the definitive guide to managing grass.

Chapters include:

• Planning and managing your grazing
• Supplementing grazing
• Planning and managing silage making
• Optimising N fertiliser practice
• Grazing high yielding cows

The programme can be worked through by individuals, groups or with a consultant, and can also be dipped into at crucial times in the grass management year when advice and help is most needed.
