Adapt grazing system to grass growth with robotic milking
Improve grazing management with adaptive dairy farming on clay soil
or
Detail description
Johnny van der Zanden manages a 135-cow dairy farm in Dreumel, Gelderland, on 40 hectares of grassland using two robotic milking systems. He implements rotating paddock grazing in favorable weather and strip grazing during less favorable conditions, adapting continuously to grass growth, temperature, daylight, and cow behavior. The interview is available on YouTube and funded by the European Union.
