New grass technologies to boost dairy farm profitability

Adoption of new grassland technologies could see Irish dairy farmers boost their profitability by significantly increasing their herds’ consumption of dry grass matter by 2025, Teagasc experts have advised.

More than 130 Agricultural Science Association (ASA) members attended a day-long workshop at the Grassland Research Centre, Teagasc Moorepark, on Wednesday, for an update on new technologies in grassland.

A large gathering of farmers are also expected at the Mooreark centre this morning for the launch of a new Teagasc online service to promote enhanced grass utilisation on farms.
