The Dairy Edge

About this episode

Mike Dineen, Teagasc Senior Research Officer, joins James Dunne on this week’s Dairy Edge to discuss the fundamentals to optimising performance from freshly calved cows by making informed decisions around the winter diet.  

 

Winter feed is obviously a significant cost to producing liquid milk therefore it is important farmers get it right. 

 

Mike explains how forage quality is key to generating the best possible margin and outlines some simple management practices that will improve animal performance and feed efficiency.
