Example text
In fact, the sward will benefit from sheep grazing, the grass will be encouraged to tiller and make a denser sward, the grass available in the spring will be younger and therefore more digestible and, if the sward contains white clover, it will benefit from being opened up by tighter grazing. The effect of a short sward in the autumn (3±5 cm) is to allow more light to reach the white clover stolons; this encourages axillary buds, which will increase the spread of white clover in the spring. Silage and hay production Silage- and hay-making are very important components of success on organic farms, not just because good quality silage and hay are critical Grassland Productivity 31 if minimal concentrates are to be fed without jeopardising animal health and welfare, but also because it is neither easy, nor economic, to buy in organic hay or silage.
2). 2 Concentrate use and stocking rate in the conventional herd. 22 (Wilkinson, 1984; Webster, 1993; Redman, 1992) show that the two most important components in dairy profitability are higher stocking rate (59%) and higher milk yield per cow (35%), based on data from the Milk Marketing Board Farm Management Services. Webster (1993) presents data from the same source, and concludes that the differences in milk yield, stocking rate and concentrate use per cow between the top and bottom 25% of farms surveyed are really very small and that the main difference in physical performance is in replacement rate (18% versus 22%).
Organic farmers have to feed organic hay or silage and this is not always readily available at an economic price. Halberg and Kristensen (1997) built a model to predict the yields of various crops, based on data from Danish organic and conventional mixed dairy farms. They found that the yield of grass/clover on organic farms was between 12% and 17% lower, depending on soil type and irrigation, but stated that this was not surprising considering that the grass/clover on the conventional farms received more than 200 kgN per ha per annum as chemical fertiliser.
