Description
Having a stocking rate of 2.9 cows per hectare of grassland (35 ares/cow) in Brittany offers many options for turnout date and forage supplementation strategies. For a farmer, knowing the consequences of the different options during the course of the grazing season makes grazing management decisions easier. As experiments on grazing management require considerable resources and are hardly generalisable, various spring scenarios have been tested using a dynamic decision support system, Pâtur’IN (Delaby et al., this volume).
