The milk production potential of dairy cows has increased substantially over the past two decades. This development presents new challenges for managing dairy cows during grazing, particularly where the objective is to maximise the proportion of energy in the diet derived from forage. The objective of the current study was to explore supplementation strategies to maintain high total forage intakes from grazed grass supplemented with alternative forage supplements in dairy cows during the grazing season. A second objective of the study was to examine the effect of supplement on substitution rate (SR) and milk yield response
