Join MLA for the next webinar in our PDS Updates series, showcasing insights from the completed project ‘Increasing production using containment areas’, delivered in partnership with the Barossa Improved Grazing Group (BIGG) in SA. 

In this session the PDS facilitator, Deb Scammell from Talking Livestock, will share key findings from the project, including ration design approaches, infrastructure learnings, labour efficiencies and the on‑farm impacts observed across participating producers. 

Producers will also be introduced to several practical tools and templates developed through the project to support decision‑making around containment feeding systems. 

Building on the opportunities identified in the ‘Increasing production using containment areas’ PDS, the webinar will outline why the group has established a new PDS project ‘Improved ewe health outcomes from containment’. Attendees will learn what producers can expect from this next phase of work, early activities underway, and how to get involved as the project progresses. 

This webinar is ideal for producers, service providers and PDS stakeholders interested in improving containment feeding outcomes and supporting ewe management through practical, evidence‑based solutions.
