Show Notes
Teagasc dairy advisor Colm Doran joins Emma-Louise Coffey to give strategies on recovery from drought conditions.
Colm gives information on the average farm cover on dairy farms in North Wexford, averaging 720 kg DM/ha but ranging from 360 to 1,200 kg DM/ha.
These farmers are actively measuring grass production once-twice weekly and supplementing according to grass supply, typically in the form of concentrate and silage.
Colm recommends that farmers continue to monitor grass production and complete a feed budget for your farm.
