Grassland Focus: Priorities for April
The focus for this week’s episode of the OviCast podcast switches to grassland with Ciarán Lynch joined by Dr Philip Creighton to discuss the key priorities for April.
Philip starts by discussing the current grazing situation before then moving on to discuss the key management tasks from grouping up to temporary fencing with Philip explaining the impact this has on grass growth and animal performance.
He offers some advice on fertiliser application during April and the impact that this has on the system.
He then discusses planning next year’s winter fodder on farms emphasising the need to focus not only on quantity but quality silage.
Finally, Philip highlights the upcoming round of spring grass walks that will be held nationwide.
