REDUCING INPUTS AND LOSSES OF NITROGEN AND ENERGY ON DAIRY FARMS

Objetivo



This research aims to identify possibilities to improve the weakest links in the cycle of plant nutrients on dairy farms, namely the (efficiency of) utilization of N and other plant nutrients by the animals, and the (efficiency of) utilization of animal slurries by the crops.
Both aspects will be studied in an integrated way :

- study the strategic supplementation of forages produced with moderate or low levels of N, using as much home-grown feeds as possible;
- study agronomic possibilities and environmental constraints of maximizing the proportion of home-grown feed energy and protein;
- develop effective and low-emission slurry utilization systems on legume-based dairy farms.

Results from the project should provide a framework for the development of extensive, land-based dairy systems.
