DAIRYNZ GUIDES AND LINKS

​

Break-Fed Wintering: 

This guide explains how to develop a paddock wintering plan for feeding brassicas, fodder beet,
green feed cereals and pasture (with high levels of supplement). It provides tips and options for
farmers on how to identify and manage wintering risks in a range of situations. It covers both
environmental and animal welfare risk management.
The principles also apply in autumn when transitioning cows onto crop, and when cows come home from winter grazing to crop in spring.

Good Management Practices: 

The good management practices (GMP) described here were prepared following workshops with
groups of farmers, rural professionals and industry representatives from six primary sectors who
were involved in the Matrix of Good- Management project. The resulting lists of good management
practices were compared across industries, and a single set of good management practices relevant
to all industries was developed along with implementation guidance. The guide is divided into six key
management areas.
