  • Comparison of Feeding Time in Barn and Pasture Under a Given Grass Allowance in a System with Robotic Milking and Strip Grazing by Using Collected Sensor Data
    Comparison of feeding time in barn and pasture under a given grass allowance in a system with robotic milking and strip grazing by using collected sensor data Ipema A.H., Holshof G. and De Mol R.M. Wageningen UR Livestock Research, De Elst 1, 6708 WD Wageningen, the Netherlands Abstract In the Autograssmilk project funded by the EU-FP7 programme an experiment was conducted with the objective to study the potential of using new technologies for the optimisation and integration of automatic milking with cow grazing. Data were collected during the 2014 grazing season from a 60-cow herd. The herd was kept in the barn during the night (16:00-6:00) where 8.4 kg dry matter (DM) per cow per day of conserved forage was fed. During the day (6:00-16:00) the herd had access to a strip of grass with approximately 8 kg DM per cow per day. Cows were free to return to the barn for visiting the milking robot. Automatic milking-system visits and milk yields were collected per cow. The average milk yield was 26.1 kg milk per cow per day. Feeding time was measured with a sensor attached to the neck of each cow. The cows spent an average of 346 minutes per day for feeding/grazing. For forage fed in the barn, cows spent an average of 6.7 minutes feeding time per kg of milk, while for grazing 8.8 minutes per kg of milk was spent. Older cows were significantly more efficient than heifers in their feeding time in the barn, whereas for grazing the differences were smaller.

  • Management Report 2016 Pushing Boundaries to Prepare for What the Future Holds
    Abstract Management Report 2016 Pushing boundaries to prepare for what the future holds www.vhluniversity.com Foreword Foreword Foreword Executive Board Pushing boundaries to prepare for what the future holds In recent years, a solid foundation has been established for the future. In 2016 it was time to push our boundaries in respect of the university's important themes. We established new courses, started new research groups, developed innovative knowledge, entered into new international partnerships and developed living labs. Steps towards becoming the largest university of applied sciences We have taken steps towards becoming the largest university of applied sciences in the Netherlands and to this end, an important milestone was reached in 2016. Van Hall Larenstein is the first university of applied sciences in the Netherlands to have been awarded the CSR quality mark at the level 'Committed'. The building in Leeuwarden has also undergone a refurbishment, resulting in important sustainability ambitions being achieved, as was the case in Velp. Cross-border partnerships In terms of our partnerships, we have also quite literally pushed boundaries. In the key countries, ambitions have been laid down in respect of teaching and research in new partnership agreements with universities in China, India, Indone- sia and Romania. Our expertise has allowed us to contribute to trade missions in India, Indonesia and Ethiopia. Implementation of a new educational concept The educational concept and other recently established policy were broadly implemented in 2016. It is anticipated that the identified improvement measures from the new educational concept and policy will pay off during the next few years, when increasing numbers of students participate in the modified programme.

  • Economic Benefits Depend on Milk Price and Grazing Efficiency Holshof G., Evers A.G., De Haan M.H.A
    Grazing and difficult circumstances: economic benefits depend on milk price and grazing efficiency Holshof G., Evers A.G., De Haan M.H.A. and Galama P.G. Wageningen UR Livestock Research, P.O. Box 338, 6700 AH Wageningen, the Netherlands; [email protected] Abstract Dairy herds in the Netherlands will increase in size in the coming years, due to the imminent abolition of milk quotas. Also more farms will make use of automatic milking systems (AMS). Both trends mean less opportunity for grazing. As the grazing area itself will not increase it has become a priority to explore new ways of grazing. At Dairy Campus – a Dutch experimental farm – two distinct grazing systems were tested: strip grazing with AMS and one-day rotational grazing with a fixed paddock area and a standard growing period of 23 days. The grazing time was restricted to daytime. At night the cows were fed silage and concentrates. In the one-day rotational grazing, the grass allowance depended on what was grown in 23 days on the fixed paddock. The silage feeding was adapted to the allowed amount of grass. The total allowance of grass and roughage for both systems was 16 kg dry matter cow-1 d-1 supplemented with concentrates. The strip grazing system had a fixed allowance of 8 kg DM grass cow-1 d-1 supplemented with 8 kg TMR cow-1 d-1. Model calculations showed a relation between grazing efficiency, milk price and income. Grazing will be more profitable than an indoor system at lower milk prices. At higher milk prices a high grazing efficiency is necessary to make a grazing system profitable.
