Synopsis Whole Farm Nutrient Budgets of Two Dairy Farms in Atlantic Canada by : Jeffrey Nimmo

ABSTRACT: Whole farm nutrient budgets (WFNB) enable producers to link dairy herd management with traditional field nutrient management plans. The objective of this study was to calculate WFNBs of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N, P, and K) at a commercial farm in New Brunswick and in Prince Edward Island. Reliable estimates of N fixation from alfalfa and red clover on the farms were obtained with adjustments to the Høgh-Jensen et al. (2004) dry matter conversion models. The farms had surpluses of N, P, and K. Both farms imported feed as well as nutrient inputs for crop production. Surpluses of all nutrients were typical in comparison to WFNBs of similar dairy farms; however, the nutrient use efficiencies were low. The imported manure and fertilizer used in the crop production components contributed to surpluses of N and P which could likely be reduced to improve overall farm nutrient use efficiency.
