Abstract

Modelling grazing dairy systems from the temperate hot-summer climate region of South America is challenging due to the absence of suitable whole-farm models developed or evaluated in this region. The use of whole-farm models developed in other regions represents an opportunity. However, the accuracy and precision of their predictions need to be assessed.
