One current research projects uses a forward grazing technique for high producing cows. In this study, cows graze a new strip of pasture every 12 hours. By using high tension fencing, animals can be rotated very frequently from pas ture to pasture with little labor required. At the university’s dairy farms on campus, visitors will leant about studies on the digestibility of forage treated with compounds such as sodium-potassium based drying agents. These compounds are applied at the time of cutting, and help to speed up the rate that forages dry down to become hay. This means the forage is ready to bale sooner than non-treated hay.
