Since 2002 stock numbers have remained static, but there has
been an increase in the use of supplementary feed. There has also been a large increase in productivity
per cow (>20% gain). Stocking rate per ha has increased only 4% in the decade 2002-2012.
The net effect of the historical expansion and intensification of dairying in the region is to increase the
amount of nutrients, sediment, and animal effluent being applied to the land and dispersed into water
bodies traversing the
Stocking rates have also increased. The
increases in cow numbers, stocking rate and
total area in dairy farming has generated
greater volumes of farm dairy effluent

Since the adoption of the Freshwater Plan in
