One of the key management actions to consistently achieve high reproductive efficiency is to maintain adequate pasture resources. Poor nutrition in the pasture is often the leading cause of sub-fertility in your herds.
CRUDE PROTEIN
It is higher in spring grass and can influence the metabolism of the cow and can lead to recurring heat and early embryonic loss in worst case
RAW FIBRE/STRUCTURE
These are reduced in spring grass. Can cause rumen acidosis which can also affect fertility in term of early embryonic loss or silent heat
DIGESTIBLE ENERGY
Spring grass is highly digestible, which means a high energy content. This can also influence the metabolism and fertility
MINERALS
These are lower in spring grass, and increase the risk for silent heat
