Adapt your grazing system to grass growth - even when using a milking robot: Video
Innovative grazing techniques for modern dairy farming
Detail description
Johnny van de Zanden manages a dairy farm in Droomel, Gelderland, milking around 135 cows on 60 hectares of land.
He employs two grazing systems to optimize milk production.
The farm faces challenges with managing high-density milking rolls and balancing various production methods.
Johnny emphasizes flexibility in grazing systems to adapt to seasonal growth variations and maintain pasture quality.
He advocates for consistent grazing strategies to manage both milk yield and land use effectively.
