UCC Ireland 3rd year Agricultural Science Students recently visited Teagasc Oak Park Research Centre to learn about grass and clover breeding. Thanks to Pat Conaghan, Stephen Byrne and Dan Milbourne for hosting the students. Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC SEFS@UCC Frank Buckley William burchill Aoife Leader

🗓️ date for your calendar Teagasc Kilkenny Waterford are holding a Dairy Financial Seminar 🗓️Thursday 28th November ⏰7.30pm 📍Springhill Hotel Kilkenny All are welcome to attend

Delighted to have recieved the ICBF Brian Wickham Award at the UCC Agricultural Science awards. Huge thanks to ICBF ICBF for sponsoring the award and thanks to the UCC Ireland Agri Science team. Frank Buckley Deirdre Hennessy William burchill

End of year review for the Teagasc Tirlán FarmLife monitor farmers. A mixed year with a not so bad backend! Estimated MS/cow just under 500kgs for the group. Average grass grown on the MP just over 13tonnes DM/ha All group reports can be found on this 🔗 teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/…

Here's a date for your Jan 2025 Diary - Get set up for Spring 2025! Great line-up of Teagasc Advisors & Specialists and a live demo showcasing fertiliser spreader calibration.

Great day on farm with @JackKearney321 and his student Mark. Mark is on placement from UCC Ireland for the spring updating all his dairy skills including grass measuring, breeding , farm finances etc.

UCC Ireland 1st Year Agricultural Science Students had a great introduction to dairy calf to beef from Jamie O'Driscoll and Nicky Byrne and suckler systems from Peter Doyle Teagasc Grange. Even the cattle were listening! Frank Buckley William burchill Aoife Leader Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC

Exciting PhD opportunity within our Teagasc nutrition group, in collaboration with UCC, focusing on autumn-calving/winter-milk systems: teagasc.ie/media/website/… Retweets appreciated! Teagasc Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC PastureBase Ireland

UCC Ireland Agricultural Science 1st Years visited Teagasc Athenry this week to learn about the research supporting sustainable sheep poduction in Ireland. Thanks to Phil Creighton for organising and the researchers for their time Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC Frank Buckley William burchill Aoife Leader

2nd rotation is the best time to start sulphur applications on grazing ground to boost N efficiency and grass growth. Aim for a total of 10-15 units S/acre over the months of April, May, June and July!

Adjust fertiliser N rates for N applied in cattle slurry for example 3,000gals/ac will supply ~ 27 units/N/ac

Target cattle slurry to silage fields as it’s a valuable source of K and 1st cut silage crops require 80 to 100 units/ac. For more info see: teagasc.ie/media/website/…

Consult farm fertiliser plan and select a well balance N-P-K fertiliser such as 18-6-12+S for grazing fields. For more info see: teagasc.ie/crops/grasslan…

Moisture driving grass growth on the dry farms!

Identify fields with good soil fertility (pH +6.5, P & K Index 3) for clover over sowing. For more info see teagasc.ie/media/website/…

Grass is flying😎

Check soil test results and apply recommended lime to correct soil pH to pH 6.3 to 6.5. For more info see teagasc.ie/media/website/…

With current Soil Moisture Deficits (SMD) ranging from 40-50mm, grass growth is becoming restricted and consequently nitrogen uptake will be reduced. Nitrogen applications of 20-30 kg N/ha will meet grass requirements. Credit to Met Éireann for the data

Last night An Taoiseach Micheál Martin crowned Dairygold Co-Op Milk Suppliers Aileen Sheehan and Philip O’Leary, Whitechurch the overall winners of the 2024 Dairygold Milk Quality and Sustainability Awards #WeGrowTogether

Honoured to have judged this year's awards with @teagascs Grainne Hurley. The standard of milk quality and sustainability across the finalists was outstanding!!! Huge congratulations to all!! Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC SEFS@UCC
