Episode description
Teagasc is running a weekly Let's Talk Dairy webinar series which is also being made available as a bonus podcast episode.
In this webinar, Stuart Childs, Teagasc Dairy Specialist is joined by Dr. Deirdre Hennessy to discuss the establishment of grass-white clover into our swards.
Clover is an essential component to have on a farm. Clover offers us huge opportunities in reducing our fertiliser nitrogen and it also benefits us greatly in animal production. In Teagasc Moorepark, on average there has been 20 kilograms of milk solids produced per cow annually. Also, Clover increases herbage production up to 1.5 DM/ha.
