September 18, 2021 - Mowing, collecting and feeding fresh grass at Blenke Dairy with the John Deere 7430 tractor, Krone Easycut F 360 front mower and Krone AX 280 GD self-loading forage wagon.
نعم صحيح تلك من مصانع السماء في الأرض بأسماء مستعارة لسكان الأرض على العرب الطلب لها في النهوض بمساحات الأرض الزراعيه وتجهيز الكوادر لها وهي تعمل من وضع ميزانية المساكن للعمال وعايلاتهم وهكذا جميع الأمور تشير والله أعلى وأعلم فلاحولا ولاقوة الا بالله العلي العظيم الله الله الله الله الله الله
Livestock Management Diploma graduate here. A lot of large scale animal agriculture units create systems which help aide their management style. This dairy, like many, have taken a more mechanical approach to grazing. When turning the cows out they most likely saw uneven grazing, compaction from hooves leading to lower forage yield, uneven manure application (cattle dung wherever they stand), etc. They also probably had an easier time finding workers that were mechanically inclined to run equipment; rather than hiring stock hands to move cattle. Also, contrary to popular belief, animals have lower stress levels when kept in confinement. There are cons to mechanical feeding as well. For instance the depreciation cost with machinery and current diesel prices required to run said machinery lead to a high cost of production. The exact same results can be achieved when turning out cattle on paddocks. It just requires different management. Rotational grazing is an intensive grazing method which helps mitigate the problems stated with traditional grazing above. You see it practiced heavily in beef herds. To sum it all up, it’s up to the farmer and what suits their operation the best. We’re all just trying to make a happy herd and a healthy product for everyone to enjoy. Hope this helped. 👍
Also with dairy cows it would keep them close to the parlor for milking and reduce the cows energy output toward grazing and traveling and keep it for grass fed milk if you’re into that kind of thing.
@@nicknick1098 With grazing you 1/3rd of grass to be trampled into the soil, with zerograzing you get about 1-5% spilled grass. The grass the cows trample is actually not always a bad thing, soil-life organism will eat it and make soil healthier. So both systems have advantages, like grazing saves you time riding manure, but with zero-grazing you can apply the manure more precise. Strip-grazing is good system for grazing. I use zerograzing only for distant fields, and we have a lot of them.
