TResearch Spring 2021
TResearch is an official science publication of Teagasc. It aims to disseminate the results of the organisation’s research to a broad audience. The Spring Edition of TResearch has a special feature on grass roots - 70 years of grassland research; milk fractions for pigs; kelp; BREXIT & farm income.
Grassland research over the last 70 years has underpinned the profitability, competitiveness and sustainability of the ruminant livestock sector. In the early years one of the key leaders in the development of grass-based systems of animal production in Ireland was the late Michael Walshe. This issue of TResearch is in honour of the late Michael Walshe and we reflect on past, current and future grassland research programmes.
