1 The implementation of some regenerative practices to improve the sustainability of latxa dairy sheep system LIFE REGEN FARMING - LIFE12 ENV/ES/232 Mandaluniz, N.; Pascual, A.; Arranz, J.; Ruiz, R. NEIKER-Tecnalia, Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) Vitoria-Gasteiz, 3-5 October 2017 FAO-CIHEAM Network on Sheep and Goats
2 INTRODUCTION Challenges: Technical viability Economic profitability Environmental impact Social acceptance Dairy sheep production system Changes (intensification): Land use Grazing practices Consequences: Environmental impacts Needs: Design grazing practices suitable to cope with the existing challenges Dairy sheep production in the Basque Country: Traditionally based on grazing (valley and mountain) LIFE REGEN FARMING- Innovate in grazing management to enhance the potential of grasslands to fix carbon, improve pastures fertility and livestock sustainability.
3 OBJECTIVE The main objective of the current paper was to determine the effect of two different grazing management regimes on pasture parameters and on dairy sheep production variables during the spring lactation period. Soil, pasture, livestock parameters and carbon footprint were monitored in order to determine the effectiveness and the sustainability of these grazing regimes.
4 FG RG Grazing days/plot 8±2 2±1 Resting days/plot 15±3 24±2 Grazing times/plot 4 3 MATERIAL AND METHODS (1) - Two assays ( ): during spring lactating period (april-june) - Sheep blocked homogeneously in 2 groups: free grazing (FG) and regenerative grazing (RG). RG FG Soil samples (10 cm depth): chemical parameters and POM. Grazing herbage mass (kg DM/ha): cutting, dried and weighed. Grass nutritive composition: CP, ADF and NDF contents. Harvested herbage mass (HHM): the surplus of grass harvested and bales of hay were weighted in each paddocks. Grass biodiversity
5 MATERIAL AND METHODS (2) Daily milk yield (DMY) and DMYs (Boquier et al. 1993). Milk composition: CF and CP content. Individual LW and BCS as described by Russel (1984) Carbon footprint: methodology described by Batalla et al. (2015), considering the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2006) and Carbon Calculator tool (Bochu et al., 2013). Regenerative practices applied for the calculation: - (+7%) of grazing time, - (+14%) harvested grass - (-4%) of concentrates for feeding - 0% chemical fertilizations Data were analysed by SAS (2010) considering as fixed effects: grazing management regime (FG and RG), month (April-June) and their interactions.
6 RESULTS (1) POM: Higher in RG regime Due to: higher resting time which allows soil time to recovery Variables/ treatment FG RG P value Soil parameter POM 28.0± ± Grazed, kg DM ha ± ± Pasture parameters CP, g kg DM ± ± ADF, g kg DM ± ± NDF, g kg DM ± ± Harvested kg DM ha ± ±252 - Average harvested biomasses: 10-15% higher for RG. Due to: higher resting time. Advantage: reduce forage purchase, improve autonomy. Grass biodiversity: 3% higher for RG.
7 RESULTS (2) DMY, CF and DMYs were similar. Ewes had similar LW and BCS. Seasonal reduction in DMY and increase in CF between April-June. Animal parameters Variables/ treatment FG RG P value DMY (ml d -1 ) 1510 ± ±453 DMYs (ml d -1 ) 1320 ± ±382 CF (%) 6.63 ± ±1.0 CP* (%) 4.91 ± ± 0.7 LW (kg) 60.0 ± ±8.8 BCS 2.50 ± ± Carbon footprint : - FG: 3.78 kg CO2-eq/kg fat corrected milk. - RG: 3.31 kg CO2-eq/kg fat corrected milk Regenerative practices: reduced 10% the carbon footprint of milk production activity.
8 CONCLUSIONS The regenerative grazing seemed to be linked with an increase of conserved herbage and a reduction of carbon footprint, without compromising livestock productive parameters. There are opportunities for the sheep farming to face the existing challenges and to improve their sustainability through the introduction of regenerative practices for the management of grazing resources. Work in progress (medium-long term): - Maintain regenerative practices. - Soil quality (POM, carbon fixation, ), biodiversity, carbon footprint, etc.
