    Grazing Utilisation

    Grazing Utilisation

    Utilisation is the key to better efficiency

    Irish milk and meat production systems are some of the most efficient in the world. Our efficiency advantage lies primarily in our ability to grow grass for grazing in very large quantities, thanks to favourable climatic conditions. Grazed grass is a relatively cheap feed for livestock, costing approximately €70/t DM, with a relatively low impact on the environment.

    Multispecies Focus

    Multispecies Focus

    Hosted by Dr Thomas Moloney, DLF Ireland, we cover the A – Z of multi-species swards from selecting the right mixture to grazing and silage management.

    We provide valuable insights and practical tips from Irish farmers already using multi-species swards as well as updates on the latest research from Teagasc, UCD, and WIT.

    DLF Beet Insights

    DLF Beet Insights

    Wanting to know more about growing beet or would like to consider it for rotation with tillage crops?

    Ciaran Collins of Teagasc talks to us about fodder and sugar beet and the benefits of beet in a tillage rotation. He also covers the benefits to farmers of having a beet contract for both sides.
