The aim of this project was to provide a summary on the use of salt supplementation of dairy cows to mitigate N leaching and nitrous oxide emissions and to recommend how salt supplementation could be incorporated into OverseerFM. The project confirmed that salt supplementation is most effective in reducing N leaching when used during autumn. It recommends that evaluating changes to the default N loading rate in OverseerFM be the next step.
