For organic farmers, this already goes without saying.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nHowever, grazing and feeding fresh grass brings some <strong>challenges<\/strong>. Throughout the growing season, the average grass composition shifts and specific weather conditions will cause further fluctuations in grass quality.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nThese fluctuations are the challenge. High-yielding cows prefer a very stable ration and cannot handle fluctuations in feed quality very well themselves. These fluctuations will undermine the cow's <strong>persistence <\/strong>throughout lactation.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nTo minimize the impact of quality variation, a <strong>fresh grass module<\/strong> was developed by Farmdesk. By better estimating the intake and quality of fresh grass, we can better enable the farmer to counteract variations in grass and ultimately keep ration quality as constant as possible. This will lead to optimal and efficient use of feed on the farm, combined with high and stable production and healthy animals.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nFarmdesk's fresh grass module automatically makes estimates of grass quality on your farm based on a <strong>seasonal model<\/strong>.

This is because this sunlight enables the grass to engage in photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, the plant obtains its energy and the main end product of this photosynthesis is <strong>sugar <\/strong>(which will give rise, among other things, to the FOS and VEM content of the grass). The more sunlight the grass receives, the higher the production of sugar will be under normal conditions. This will further give rise to a higher content of FOS and VEM in the grass. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmdesk.eu\/publication\/energievertering-bij-runderen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this article<\/a> there is a more in-depth look at the digestion of carbohydrates such as sugar in cattle.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nIn addition to the production of carbohydrates, the photosynthesis reaction will also provide more energy for the plant to <strong>completely finish protein <\/strong>. Thus, the DVE\/OEB ratio of grass will increase as the number of hours of sunlight increases, precisely because the plant has more energy available to finish the protein into nice chains of amino acids. More info on protein, the DVE\/OEB ratio and its importance to cattle can be found in the article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmdesk.eu\/publication\/eiwitvertering-bij-runderen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein digestion in cattle<\/a>.\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-671ebcd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"671ebcd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Influence of night temperature<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5c295d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5c295d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"translation-block\">\nDuring the night, the metabolism of the grass will be completely different.

The rate of degradation is highly dependent on temperature.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nDuring a warm night, the plant's metabolism will be high and sugar burning to CO<sub>2<\/sub> and water will also be significant. During a cold night, we see the opposite happen: low metabolism and little breakdown of sugar by the plant.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nPeriods of sunny days and cold nights thus provide a large sugar accumulation in the grass, due to the high production and low breakdown of sugar.

This moisture supply comes from the soil supply or directly from precipitation. If there are no restrictions (drought or excess water), the grass can grow without problems.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nDuring a period of <strong>relative drought<\/strong>, we see that the grass goes into a kind of survival mode. The grass is going to defend itself against dehydration: the stomata of the plant remain closed. As a result, there will be lower CO<sub>2<\/sub> uptake by the plant and photosynthesis activity will shut down, resulting in lower growth of the grass. At the same time, the grass's production of cellulose and lignin will increase relatively. The grass will \"wood up\" to protect against further desiccation. Thus, in addition to reduced growth, the quality of the grass will also decline. Here we see that the NDF content and crude fiber content will increase while the digestibility and rate of digestion will decrease.\n<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">\nPeriods where the <strong>moisture supply is too high<\/strong> can also be a problem for the quality of fresh grass. The dry matter content of the grass can deteriorate significantly and fungal growth can start at the bottom of the grass. These wet periods are also often accompanied by little sunlight so little sugar will be produced and DVE\/OEB ratios will be lower because the plant does not have enough energy available to finish the protein.\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a938e00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a938e00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Soil nitrogen supply<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e00b2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e00b2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"translation-block\">\nIn addition to direct effects on the plant, weather will also have an impact on soil nitrogen supply.

For the evolution of OEB values throughout the year, we see an interplay of sugar and (crude) protein. In spring there is a lot of energy (sugar) available for a limited amount of protein. As a result, the protein will be well finished and the OEB fraction is low. In the fall, there is a lot of nitrogen available but less energy, resulting in more protein in the OEB fraction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6328d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6328d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmdesk.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2021-04-02_065208.376332_phpLHRS4q-1.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTg2NywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cLzM0LjI1NC40LjU4XC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8xMFwvMjAyMS0wNC0wMl8wNjUyMDguMzc2MzMyX3BocExIUlM0cS0xLnBuZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/34.254.4.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2021-04-02_065208.376332_phpLHRS4q-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1867\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/34.254.4.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2021-04-02_065208.376332_phpLHRS4q-1.png 743w, https:\/\/34.254.4.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2021-04-02_065208.376332_phpLHRS4q-1-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/34.254.4.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2021-04-02_065208.376332_phpLHRS4q-1-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de37318 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"de37318\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Use of fresh grass module in practice<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be85cf4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be85cf4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"translation-block\">\nWith the new fresh grass model in Farmdesk, it will be possible to monitor and steer your <strong>ration <\/strong>even better when grazing or feeding fresh grass (barn feeding).
