Grazing management on forage brassicas

Dr Frank Campion joins us on this week’s OviCast as we discuss grazing management on forage brassicas. 

Frank discusses yields and why you should do a feed budget for the crop. We then discuss intakes, utilisation and the factors that influence it. 

Frank also explains fencing, crop allocation and managing in wet conditions and he has advice for managing the crop in frosty conditions. 

We finish up discussing the transition of the crop with finishing lambs and pregnant ewes.
