C4 Milk Project
This project aims to assist dairy farmers in Queensland and northern New South Wales to increase their margin over feed costs through developing and implementing forage and nutrition management strategies using high-forage diets within their feeding systems. One of the advantages of dairying in these regions is the ability to grow large amounts of forage annually from over 25 different types of feed. However, while many farmers capitalise on high forage growth rates and production, improving agronomic management of forage quality and balancing forages in the diet becomes essential to maintain high levels of milk production. Research findings are disseminated through the network of C4Milk discussion groups.
