Abstract
⺠Average over application of chemical fertilizers ranged from 22.8 to 32.8 kg N haâ1 and 2.9 to 3.51 kg P haâ1. ⺠Average excess of imported feedstuffs equated to 5.82-7.44 kg LUâ1 of N and 0.92-1.17 kg LUâ1 of P. ⺠Potential cost savings on chemical fertilisers across all systems on average ranged from â¬38.9 haâ1 to â¬48.5 haâ1. ⺠Potential cost reductions on imported feeds of â¬65-84 LUâ1 were indicated for dairy farms versus efficient cohort benchmark farms. ⺠Farmers with a formal agricultural education had significantly higher level of efficiency.
