The Winter Wheat Guide - Teagasc

The average yields of winter wheat achieved by Irish growers are amongst the highest globally. This is facilitated by the mild, wet climate and long summer days which results in slow crop development, and a long grain filling period rarely affected by drought. The crops development through its growth stages

y Grass Silage fo r Dai ry and Beef P rodu ct io n Syste ms

Dry matter yield is the most important factor affecting cost per tonne of silage fed. First cut silage tends to be Cless expensive than subsequent cuts. The relative cost of baled silage depends on DM yield -lighter crops make bales a more viable option. On a feed cost per ha basis, well-managed grass-plus-silage systems compare favourably with

Key Environment Issues for Dairy Farmers

nitrogen fertiliser type right for the prevailing conditions can significantly reduce losses and improve the effectiveness of N fertiliser Improved liveweight gain improves GHG efficiency by reducing finishing age and/or increasing carcass weight and thereby reducing the emissions per unit of output. Land Use – sequestration.

What s in Grass? - Teagasc

Dairy cows need a minimum of 30% fibre (NDF) to maintain a healthy rumen. Beef cattle can thrive with much lower levels of fibre in the diet. The fibre content of grass is defined by the neutral detergent fibre content (NDF %). The NDF content of grazed grass varies from 35% for leafy fresh spring grass to 50% for stemmy grass. ...

Development of the Calf Digestive System

digestive system. The transition phase (period covering the move from the pre-ruminant to the ruminant phase) occurs between four and eight weeks of age, when the rumen begins to take over the main digestion of feed. When a calf consumes water and starter concentrates, bacterial fermentation is initiated in the rumen. This generates large amounts
