FFO en un tambo de alta eficiencia
Agricultural Practices and Innovations in Dairy Farming
Overview of the Dairy Farm System
- The farm spans 240 hectares, utilizing a "driloche" system where cows are kept in mobile paddocks.
- A mixed diet is provided along with mechanical grazing to reduce feeding costs.
- Currently, the farm produces 8,900 liters of milk from 230 cows through triple milking.
Application of FC in Crop Cultivation
- The use of FC began during the 2020 campaign, initially applied to alfalfa crops and later extended to oats and corn.
- Notable improvements were observed in alfalfa health and regrowth response during spring 2020, indicating effective application.
Results and Observations
- The engineer agronomist noted a significant increase in green biomass by approximately 25% to 30% after applying FC.
- Enhanced crop health was evident through vibrant green coloration and improved defense mechanisms against diseases.
Application Strategy
- Applications are conducted in spring following the first regrowth post-harvest, typically one week after cutting.
- Up to three applications per campaign are made to maximize crop yield and health.
