Response in Beef Cattle to Concentrate Feeding in Winter
Any discussion on concentrate feeding levels in winter must be in the context of an overall production system. This is particularly so nowadays with premia and other agri-environmental payments contributing so much of the profit margin. Thus, production systems must be designed to maximise the draw-down of direct payments, and feeding levels must then be designed to deliver these production systems.

National Dairy Open Day, Solohead Research Farm, July 2000
The Open Day at Solohead Coincides with the Start of A new research programme on the farm. The optimum use of nitrogen in the dairy production system, and the environmental impact of nitrogen use will be assessed in association with animal productivity. The economic implications of alternative strategies of nitrogen use (including REPS) can then be more accurately assessed. In future, the milk production industry in Ireland will face a more competitive environment which is dictated by the customer's requirements for a wider range of quality products at competitive prices, produced in a clean environment and meeting stringent health and safety standards.
