The article focuses on how the cow herd can be managed carefully, which can pay for the high-priced feed faced by herd owners. It says that the pasture is considered as a candidate for renovation if it shows less than 75% grass groundcover. It adds that the addition of lespedeza can pr...

Optimizing dairy forage quality is a key focus area for both Poulin Grain and Alltech. Maximizing livestock productivity Poulin Grain is no stranger to adaption and innovation, as noted by general manager and senior vice president Mike Tetreault, “One of the key things for Poulin Grain to conti...
Consistency is key here. The concept of feeding total mixed rations (TMR’s), to the dairy herd is now well established. However, the actual practical delivery of consistent TMR’s to all milking and dry groups within the heard every day, is much more problematic; this could be for a nu...
The report deals with the cost of grazing store and feeding cattle during the summer of 1951. Twenty-five farms (834 animals) in Aberdeenshire, Kincardineshire and Banffshire were surveyed. The area of grass coated was 1100 acres of 3- and 4-year leys; permanent and rough grazing was not...
Ireland where milk quota was binding during the milk quota years, in Northern Ireland farmers were able to purchase quota at low cost from other parts of the United Kingdom and were therefore able to maintain or increase cow numbers and increase yield per dairy cow by feeding more concentrate...
