Grass is crying out for a nitrogen boost

Grass is crying out for a nitrogen boost
According to Teagasc dairy specialist John Maher, grass availability is pretty good on dairy farms across Ireland at the present time.
“Most of this growth took place during the month of December. However, many farmers are telling me that swards are now taking on a yellow tinge,” he said.
“This tells me that they are crying out for a nitrogen boost. This can be in the form of slurry or a chemical fertiliser.
Modern grass varieties have tremendous potential to grow during the early spring months.

“Early spring grass is a very valuable source of nutrition, as it combines high levels of fibre, energy and protein.
The challenge confronting dairy farmers with spring calving cows over the coming weeks is that of hitting what’s called the sweet spot. The freshly calved cow is in a high stress state, so she needs a fair bit of management.
“It’s then a case of maximising grass intakes while minimising sward and ground damage.
“There are many dynamics associated with early lactation nutrition as cows are metabolically at their most stressed post-calving and grazing conditions can be challenging,” Patton said. ....

Feeding concentrate to freshly-calved dairy cows

Feeding concentrate to freshly-calved dairy cows
Dairy farmers should aim to feed a 15% crude protein concentrate ration to freshly calved dairy cows, according to Teagasc nutritionist Joe Patton.
“Ingredients must be of the highest quality. A typical ratio would comprise an equal mix of a high-quality cereal: maize or barley; fibre: hulls or beet pulp and protein: distillers or soya,” he said.
“Minerals must also be included: calmag; salt; limestone; maybe a bit of phosphorous and trace elements. The mineral component of the ration will stay the same, irrespective of the other components used.”
Patton made these comments during a recent Teagasc Dairy Edge podcast. ....
