High Sugar Grass For Milk Production

Results of several studies conducted by IGER showed that grass protein is used more efficiently for milk production when extra energy is provided by feeding high sugar grasses such as EUREKA. The main advantages found were:

• Milk yield increased substantially –6% more milk per cow over the grazing season
• Dry matter intakes increased by 2 kgs/head/day
• 3% improvement in diet digestibility- ie high sugar grasses are more palatable
• The amount of feed nitrogen lost in urine was reduced by 24%. This has important implications for the environment in terms of nitrogen pollution
