Benefits of robotic milking in pasture-based system

摘要

Focusing on a grazing-based system is no barrier to robotic milking as one Somerset grass-based herd demonstrates.Combining grazing with robotic milking has lifted grass and milk yields at Overton Farm, Somerset, where David Pauli and Rosie Sage have three robots to milk their 180-cow organic herd.Annual yield has increased by an average of 1,000 litres a head in a grazing system that now grows about 15 more grass.
