NZ Dairy Farm Grazing Calculator Screenshots

Description

A quick and easy way for New Zealand dairy farmers to calculate a number of common grazing related equations.

This app was developed in collaboration with New Zealand dairy farmers and farm consultants. Designed to be used out on the farm and on the go to allow farmers to do get the numbers they need, when they need them.

About the calculators:
Days in Paddock work out the number of days to leave a specific number of cows in a paddock using either:
kg dry matter allocation per cow per day based on paddock size, cover and residual.
square meter allocation per cow per day based on paddock size.

kgDM/Cow/Day work out the kg dry matter per cow per day you will get from a paddock based on paddock size, cover, residual, number of cows and number of days.

Crop Allocation work out how much crop to allocate based on yield (tonnes DM per hectare), the number of cows and the kg dry matter per cow per day required.

Total Silage DM work out approximately how many tonnes of dry matter is in a silage stack or pit based on volume and density of the silage. Select from a number of preset density values or enter your own value.
