Feed budgeting
A feed budget is a simple tool that can be used to plan grazing programs for an entire season or assist with short-term grazing management decisions.
As a seasonal planning tool feed budgets can help determine the overall stocking rate that will most efficiently convert available pasture to beef or sheep meat. In practice this is achieved when pasture energy supply matches livestock energy demand and when the best pastures are fed to the most productive livestock class.
