Abstract

The feasibility of achieving the dairy industry's target of producing 45 t DM/ha/yr of forage with an average metabolisable energy (ME) value of 11 MJ ME/kg DM was evaluated for the Waikato and Northland regions of New Zealand. Keywords: crop sequence, dairy cow, supplementary forages, maize, brassica, cereal crops, forage yield, nutritive value
