The grazing of dairy cows globally is in decline, however, countries like Ireland, New Zealand and Australia are among the exceptions to this rule. Ireland's temperate climate allows for large quantities of grass dry matter (DM) to be grown over a long grazing season. Grazed grass is the cheapest feed available to Irish farmers and gives the Irish dairy industry a competitive advantage over many of our European neighbours.
