Improving sustainability of milk production systems in the european union through increasing reliance on grazed pasture.

Objetivo

Milk production systems based on a high reliance on grazed herbage offer a number of economic, animal welfare and environmental benefits. In order to increase uptake of such systems within the EU with particular application within the Atlantic Arc region, reliable decision support systems are required to assist the farmer in grassland management. This proposal brings together expertise from 5 member states within the EU to develop and validate European grass growth and herbage intake models and to incorporate these within a practical decision support system for use at farm level. At a EU level, the models developed in this project will enable examination of policy decisions on the relative competitiveness and economic sustainability of pasture-based production systems within individual member states.
