Introduction Are we growing less feed on farm to warrant milking fewer cows? Should we be running a lower stocking rate to account for our higher genetic merit cows? How can we reduce environmental impact while maintaining profit? What are the facts? This paper will give a summary of where we are today in terms of the known facts in regards to stocking rates and suggest options for the future....
To Mr Kevin
As far as I know, New Zealander dairy farming system was special and admired.
After reading this article, I saw that researchers and also farmers from New Zealander were caught European disease, getting more milk and more profit from larger dairy breeds by using of more fertilizer, supplement and medicine.
And then more struggle for balancing and make things worse.
