Exploring the design of a Nitrogen-Attenuating stand-off pad for dairy cattle.

Aaron Wilson

Executive Summary

The focus of this project is to explore the potential design of a nitrogen attenuating feed pad for dairy cattle that are wintered on fodder crops in the lower South Island.

I hope to explain some of the reasoning behind how important cost effective environmental sustainability is to the New Zealand dairy industry, and attempt to open up some avenues of further discussion and research.
