	abstract = {New Zealand dairy farmers have not achieved the increases in milk  production that parallel those of other countries and this has led to a re- evaluation of the opportunities to use feed inputs to complement pasture  diets for dairy production. An improved understanding of the chemical  composition of pastures, a re-examination of pasture growth dynamics, and  recent experimental evidence and farmer experience suggests that there is  potential to increase milk production from pasture through strategic inputs  of feeds to increase dry matter intake and improve the nutrient balance of the  cow},
