About this episode
Teagasc ruminant nutritionist, Dr Aisling Claffey, joins James Dunne on this week's Dairy Edge podcast to discuss how to best meet the nutritional needs of the calved dairy cow throughout early lactation.
Aisling outlines the energy requirements required to minimise body condition loss and optimise animal performance over the spring period and how these can be met with a simple diet of grazed grass, high quality silage and concentrates.
The importance of achieving at least one grazing per day was discussed whilst also giving an understanding as to what’s needed at farm level when this isn’t achievable in difficult periods.
