Grazing Consultancy



Grasstec Grazing Consultancy is a service targeted towards optimising grassland management practices on farm. The service focuses on grass measurement, budgeting and management on-farm.

The service consists of regular visits by our consultant to the participant's farm where the three steps of measurement, budgeting and management are put into action. The regularity and number of visits in the year is tailored towards the expertise of the farmer and all levels of expertise are catered for.

The objectives of the service are as follows:
  • To provide a cutting edge grazing consultancy service to Irish dairy farmers.
  • To establish grazing systems on each participant farm that will maximise the intake of highly digestible grazed grass throughout the grazing season. This will facilitate a higher level of milk solids production at lower input costs.
  • To establish grazing systems on participant farms which will optimise grass utilisation, output per hectare and farm profit.
  • To create awareness of the latest techniques for grassland management and to facilitate knowledge transfer between the dairy farmers, Teagasc and the wider dairy industry.
