Extract

Feeding urea treated whole crop wheat (WCW) to calves in the spring as an alternative to grazing has the potential advantage of releasing grassland for silage or for cropping. The higher yield/ha of whole crop wheat compared with grass makes this feasible.

The objective of this experiment was to examine the intake and performance of calves in the spring, on conventional grazing, on whole crop wheat and on a combination of the two.
