| Title: | Management practices of dairy cows grazing kale |
| Author: | Edwards, Grant R. |

| Item Type: | Oral Presentation |
| Abstract: | Regaining body condition lost through
lactation is a common goal for many
NZ dairy systems. Kale is a major component of the winter diet for dairy cows, with high DM yield carried through winter with less deterioration in nutritive value compared to
other feeds. But body condition gain on kale often
does not meet farmers expectations. This presentation looks at the use of kale as a winter feed crop compared with other crops such as fodder beet. |
