NWFP Feed quality, 2015-2023

This dataset contains animal feed quality data for the livestock on the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP). Samples of the pasture or silage consumed by the cattle and sheep were taken on a fortnightly basis and analysed for dry matter content, protein, carbohydrate, fibre fractions, organic matter (ash) and metabolizable energy content. The NWFP has multiple self-contained farming systems and this data allows comparison of those systems. Additional data relating to the livestock, crops, soils and more is also available to complement this dataset.
