FeedRight

Farmers often ask what, when and how to feed their cows. To answer these questions and separate fact from fallacy, the FeedRight programme and training was created.

FeedRight training is aimed at rural professionals and farmers who offer, or plan to offer, feed management or nutrition advice. The training provides participants with the capability and knowledge to provide seasonally appropriate, profitable, and sustainable nutrition and feed management advice to dairy farmers.

• Two 2-day interactive training workshops held approximately 6 months apart
  • Workshop 1: Transition Period and Early Lactation
  • Workshop 2: Mid and Late Lactation and Dry Period

What you’ll get from the course

• Understanding of dairy cow nutrition and feed management in pasture-based systems
• Knowledge and use of relevant and evidence-based resources and information
• Capability to help farmers make informed decisions regarding dairy cow management and nutrition.
