Assessing the dry matter intake and enteric methane emissions of pre-partum dairy cows offered grass clover or grass-only silage from two different silage systems

Over the winter period, the low grass growth and availability in pasture-based dairy systems results in animals being housed and predominantly fed a diet of grass silage.
