Organic fertilisers are being evaluated for productivity, quality and health in spelt and rye within:
The SIP at Nafferton is investigating using UK grown feeds to improve milk yield and quality (antioxidant & mineral content) under conventional and organic winter diets and to improved fatty acid profiles (milk, blood, feeds).
Performance is being compared under conventional and organic management systems, using feed (lipid) supplementation with rape seed and naked oats.
The impacts on milk quality (antioxidant and mineral content) and fatty acid profiles (milk, blood, feeds) are being assessed.
