Average pasture cover (APC)

Average pasture cover (APC)

Understanding APC

Average Pasture Cover (APC) is a key indicator of feed on hand, and is the most reliable way of feed budgeting in the short-term.

APC at calving

If you don’t have the right pasture cover at planned start of calving here are some strategies to get yourself back on track.

APC at balance date

Achieving the target average pasture cover at balance date is important to ensure that the cows have sufficient high quality pasture in peak production months and during mating.
