Serial and Parallel Testing Strategies for Johne's Disease: Effects on Milk Production Traits and Milk Income on New Zealand Dairy Cattle

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
The suboptimal accuracy of current diagnostic tests necessitates alternative testing strategies to improve the detection of Johne's disease. We studied parallel and serial testing strategies to quantify the association between milk production and Johne's disease status. For this, two commercial Johne's disease Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISAs,

Pastoral Farmer Goals and Intensification Strategies [PDF]

Focus groups were held with four pastoral sectors (sheep, dairy, deer, and beef) to investigate intensification strategies available to each sector. Focus groups first identified drivers of intensification in their sector, then identified the strategies ...

Balancing Production and Environmental Goals in Pasture‐Based Dairy Systems: A Longitudinal Case Study of Transition in a High Performing New Zealand Farm

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Production and environmental outputs of intensive pasture‐based dairy systems must be rebalanced to reduce overall environmental footprint. This analysis documents the tactical management changes that enabled Lincoln University Dairy Farm (LUDF) to transition from high nitrogen (N) inputs (345 kg N fertiliser/ha/year) to a lower N input strategy (167 ...

Growth, Development, and Nitrogen Uptake of Fodder Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Crops Grown Under Differing Rates and Timing of Nitrogen Fertiliser in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important forage crop used for cattle wintering in New Zealand. Regional nitrogen (N) fertiliser experiments over two seasons (2016–2018) consisting of different N application rates (0–300 kg N/ha) and times of N application (sowing, canopy closure, and mid‐bulb development stage) were used to validate yield ...

Establishing Biodigestate Based Fertilizer's Value Within the Agricultural Community: A Key Prerequisite of Bioenergy Commercial Viability

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
This research investigated the barriers and opportunities for biodigestate, a key by product of bioenergy production, as an input to commercial agricultural operations within New Zealand. The qualitative research examined in detail how the product fitted into the agricultural community.

Assessment of the Predictive Accuracy of the Small Ruminant Nutrition System for Nutrient Digestibility and Energy Requirements in Goats in Early Lactation

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictions of the small ruminant nutrition system (SRNS) for the digestibility of dietary nutrients and the energy requirements of goats in early lactation. Forty‐eight Alpine goats were assigned to a completely randomized design. During 8 weeks of lactation, six goats were slaughtered per week.
