About
Making metabolizable energy and protein work effectively.Variable seasonal conditions impact quality and quantity of available pasture, silage and hay. Now is the time to look at what ‘fuel’ – metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) – is available to manage livestock productivity through the season ahead.
Join Dr Jill Kelly to explore the fundamentals of ruminant nutrition to drive performance of the rumen, Julian Carroll (beef producer) and Ed Weatherly (sheep producer) through the use of in-paddock weighing to support production efficiency and productivity. Making the most of ME and CP in conserved fodder, grains and standing feed is vital in running an efficient production system.
Topics include -
• How to use ME and CP efficiently?
• Where does fibre fit?
• Where are the energy losses from the system?
• How are farmers using in-paddock weighing to gain insights into feed and animal performance?
A limited number of free feed tests will be available to Victorian farmers attending the session.
