Nutrition EDGE is a three-day workshop and practical session covering all aspects of animal nutrition. Participants will be able to make better decisions to achieve their herd performance targets through improved breeder fertility, weight gains, reduced mortality, optimal use of supplements and overall management.

To realise their full growth potential, lotfed or intensively finished animals require a balanced ration that supplies all their nutritional requirements.

Lotfed or intensively finished animals require a balanced ration that supplies all their nutritional requirements if they are to realise their full growth potential. To maximise production in the feedlot and intensive finishing environment, an understanding of ruminant livestock feed requirements and feed nutritive value is important. Nutritional requirements The...

When pasture finishing livestock to meet specific market specifications, it is critical that the appropriate level of nutrition is provided to meet the production requirement.

Livestock require a combination of protein, energy, roughage and minerals to maintain good rumen function and body function. Surplus nutrients contribute to animal production eg weight gain. When drought feeding, it is often not feasible to feed more than is required for maintenance and this is referred to as a...

Prolonged dry conditions across SA prompted sheep producer Lachie Smart to implement on-farm containment feeding. In this strategic management approach, animals are fed in a designated area to protect pasture, manage nutrition and reduce erosion during adverse conditions, helping to maintain ewe productivity.
