Description:

On this week’s OviCast we’re joined by post-graduate student, Mark Dolan, to discuss different aspects of management of forage brassicas. 

 

Mark gives us some background to some of the work he has been involved in using forage brassicas to finish store lambs. 

 

We discuss yields of the different crops, utilisation rates and the factors that influence them and how they have adapted management during periods of poor weather conditions. 

 

We finish up discussing lamb kill out on the crops and the impact of regular drafting on grazing days.
