Quality forage for high yielding herd

摘要

Darren Jeanes' philosophy is quite simple. All crops are managed for quality, the diet is kept simple with a focus on rumen health, and no sub-standard forage gets anywhere near the cows.The system is set up to maximise dry matter intakes, with high yielders averaging 26.6kg DMI/day, of which about 14.8kg/ day will be forage from a mixed forage diet.
