Temporary grassland cuts at GAEC du bourg de l'Abbé farm
Case study of a grass-based dairy farm in Seine-Maritime, France, implementing sustainable practices and Inno4Grass innovation for optimized forage management and reduced nitrogen use
or
Detail description
The farm in Seine-Maritime, France, raises 70 dairy cows on 110 hectares, with 66 hectares dedicated to forage. It uses a grass-based system with multi-species meadows and five annual cuts, achieving 10,600 litres of milk per cow. The system reduces nitrogen use by 50%, employs a self-loading wagon for efficient harvesting, and plans to install a methanizer and barn dryer. Climate variability and mowing frequency pose challenges.
