On-farm evaluation of models to predict herbage intake of dairy cows grazing temperate semi-natural grasslands
The objective of the present on-farm study was to evaluate the adequacy of existing models in predicting the pasture herbage DM intake (PDMI) of lactating dairy cows grazing semi-natural grasslands. The prediction adequacy of 13 empirical and semi-mechanistic models, which were predominantly develop...
