      UCD Tour April_BANNER_V1Germinal, in partnership with UCD Lyons Farm, invites you to a farm walk and discussion on Friday, 19th May 2023.

      This event is a rescheduling of the farm visit section of Germinal’s recent Annual Technical Day, which was postponed due to inclement weather.

      UCD’s Prof. Tommy Boland and Prof. Helen Sheridan will examine the role of multi-species swards in animal production, meat quality, farm profitability and carbon footprint, while enabling a lower N input which brings environmental and economic benefits. Prof. Karina Pierce will also provide an update on the economic and environmental sustainability of the grass based high-output spring-calving dairy system at Lyons Farm. 

      We will also welcome Prof. Paul Kenyon from the School of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University, New Zealand. Prof. Kenyon will give an update on the development and application of herb-clover systems for dairy, beef and sheep farms in New Zealand.

      19 IASIS CPE points are available for those who attend this event.

      Time  Schedule 
      10:00 - 10:30  Meet at UCD Lyons Farm, Celbridge, Naas, Co. Kildare, W23 ENY2, for registration with tea and coffee.
      10:30 - 13:00

      Prof Tommy Boland and his colleagues will provide a tour of ongoing research on the farm.

      •  Prof. Tommy Boland – Role of multispecies swards in red meat production, from animal performance to meat quality, farm profitability, and carbon footprint.
      • Prof. Helen Sheridan – How alternative grazing systems reduce chemical inputs and increase biodiversity and soil health.
      • Prof. Karina Pierce – Ongoing work on the high-input grass-based dairy system.
      • Prof. Paul Kenyon – Herb-clover systems for dairy beef and sheep farms and future-proofing pasture-based production systems.
