Grassland Management

    This short-term study demonstrates how a relatively simple change to management practice in stripgrazing systems can give better pasture utilisation.
  • Grazing Management & Animal Response15 January 10
    This review focuses on efficient grazing systems for medium and high genetic merit dairy cows.
  • Grass monitor farms18 January 10
    The project involved the grass availability, utilisation and quality of six commercial farms over a three year period. Farms were visited every 3 weeks over the grazing season and measurements taken on grass height and herbage mass. Samples of grass taken for analysis and farm management details recorded.
