Precision feeding and grazing management for temperate pasture-based dairy systems

With the rapid development of precision technologies, there are increasing opportunities to measure the inherent variability in pastures and animals and use this information to optimise production and economic outcomes. Business success in pasture-based systems is driven by the production and consumption of home-grown pastures and the efficient utilisation of associated inputs. This review summarises the key factors involved in managing a successful pasture-based dairy system and highlights the precision technologies that may assist with measuring and managing variability for enhanced profitability.
