Forage4Profit

What is Forage4Profit?

Forage4Profit focuses on how to produce the best quality forage on farm to increase milk or meat production in a sustainable and profitable way. It’s no secret that home grown forage and pasture is the cheapest, and if done right, the best source of feed for livestock to produce a high quality and profitable end product.

S3:E4 – Maximising Milk and Meat From Forage

Listen to our Podcast as we explain more about our new Forage4Profit campaign, launched this spring. Head of Dairy, David Howard, is joined by National Sheep and Beef Specialist, Bryn Hughes, and together they discuss the importance of producing high-quality forage.

Growing sustainable forage

A focus on maximising the quality of our homegrown forage also supports our efforts to become more sustainable in our farming practices, which of course is a key element increasingly being introduced into milk contracts. But the reality is, it just makes good business sense to make the best use of what resources you have available, and on a farm, forage is certainly at the top of those resources.

Often the drive to become more sustainable in how we feed livestock focuses solely on the bought-in feed, through either introducing new elements to the diet, or removing ones deemed to be unsustainable. However, true sustainability will not come from focusing on one area alone, a more holistic approach is needed looking at all aspects, from the starting point of the soil through to how we balance the end ration.
