I am a postgraduate student of Organic Farming at the Scottish
Agricultural College in Aberdeen. My MSc project is on:
- application of calcified seaweed on grassland and the subsequent
grazing behaviour of dairy cows (to establish whether calcified
seaweed actually improves palatability of grass, as is often claimed)
- using NIR analysis on hairsamples of dairy cows and establishing
correlations between the findings and health and productivity of the
cows.
Does anybody know of similar research having been done - i.e.
anything on the use of calcified seaweed or hairanalysis? I would
be grateful for hints as to publications!
