DairyFeedbase - Smart Feeding

The Smart Feeding project aims to deliver tools and technologies for the measurement of dry matter intake in individual cows on pasture, at both a research and farm scale. These technologies will help develop farm management strategies that enable more efficient and profitable allocation of pasture and supplementary feed resources to dairy cattle within a herd. It is hoped that this will lead to optimised nutrient intake and increased average per-lactation milk yields, valued at $120 per cow per lactation, without increasing total feed requirements.
