Grazing plays an important role in milk production in most regions of the world. In this
review, some challenges to the grazing cow are discussed together with opportunities for …

The main effects of, and the interactions between, stocking rate (SR), supplementation and
genotype on dry matter (DM) intake, herbage utilisation, milk production and profitability of …

Increasing milk production from pasture while increasing grass dry matter intake (GDMI) and
lowering methane (CH4) emissions are key objectives of low-cost dairy production systems …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-grazing herbage mass (HM)
and pasture allowance (PA) on sward characteristics, milk production performance, dry …

The production and utilization of increased quantities of high quality pasture is of paramount
importance in pasture-based milk production systems. The objective of this study was to …

Few studies have examined the effects of fresh forage quality on enteric methane (CH 4)
emissions of dairy cows under grazing conditions. The aim of the current study was to …

A 2‐year whole‐farm system study compared the accumulation, utilization and nutritive
value of grass in spring‐calving grass‐based systems differing in stocking rate (SR) and …

The increased average Irish dairy herd size in a post-quota environment has put heightened
pressure on grazing infrastructure. In a rotational grazing system, grazing infrastructure …

A 4-year (2010–2013) plot study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N)
fertilizer rate (0, 60, 120, 196 and 240 kg N/ha/year) on seasonal responses and species …

A number of factors influence dairy cow preference to be indoors or at pasture. The study
reported here investigated whether herbage mass and distance affects preference and if …
