Zero Grazing

Zero grazing is the practice of cutting fresh grass daily to feed to housed cows. It is sometimes referred to as ‘cut and carry’. With feed and forage accounting for the largest costs on a dairy farm, maximising the use of grass has the ability to reduce costs and increase profitability. One way to improve milk from forage is via zero grazing. This insight publication aims to help farmers decide whether zero grazing is for them and provide practical advice on best practice.
