Grazing Management for Dairy Cows and Sheep to Reduce Concentrate Use

Reducing concentrate feed use in dairy and sheep farming through sustainable grazing management. Focus on pasture capacity alignment, mowing-grazing integration, and minimizing arable land use. Key elements include two milking areas, subsidized drying facilities, targeted reseeding, shared ball press via machinery ring, and cost-efficient stable design. Addresses EU subsidy requirements, including minimum mowing, and supports transition to pasture-based systems for improved animal welfare. Advocates for policy simplification to convert forest to pasture. Potential for replication in the village with local vocational school as model.
