Download Information on dairy farming systems: Determining Feed Eaten by New Zealand Dairy Cows 1990-2020 through Combining Data Sets

This report assesses the feasibility of combining these databases to provide monthly estimates of feeds (grown on farm and imported) eaten by dairy cows from 1990 to 2020 for different types of farm systems and regions of New Zealand.
