Summary
This 2026 AHDB workshop convened practitioners and researchers to synthesise evidence-based approaches for maximising nutrient intake and feed efficiency in United Kingdom dairy grazing systems. Rather than presenting novel primary research, the event functioned as a knowledge transfer initiative focused on practical implementation of pasture management, strategic supplementation, and herd health interventions. The format emphasised adoption of established best practices within grazing dairy systems rather than generation of new evidence.
Regional applicability
This workshop was specifically designed for United Kingdom dairy grazing contexts and reflects AHDB's remit to support UK farm productivity and sustainability. The findings and recommendations are directly applicable to UK temperate grassland-based dairy systems, though transferability to non-grazing or non-temperate systems would be limited.
Key measures
Likely included feed intake rates, pasture quality parameters, supplementation efficacy, and herd performance metrics, though specific measures are not detailed in available metadata.
Outcomes reported
The workshop synthesised evidence-based approaches for maximising nutrient intake and feed efficiency in dairy grazing systems. Outcomes likely included practical recommendations on pasture management, supplementation strategies, and herd health interventions rather than primary research findings.
