Want to learn more?

Four information sheets have been compiled that cover important situations where pasture can be complemented to maximise production:

• Utilising more dry pasture with an efficient rumen
• Managing excess protein in pastures
• Increasing utilisation of high moisture pastures
• Converting more pasture with rapid rumen development

The following pages provide a brief overview of each of these complementary feeding applications.  Each information sheet explains:

• How pasture is limiting production
• The latest science about how to rectify pasture issues
• Quantifying potential gains from complementary feeding

All the practical things to know:

• Feed ingredients to overcome pasture issues
• The quantity to feed per head per day
• How to limit the quantity of feed delivered to the desired ration
• Evaluating the most cost-effective feed
• When to start and finish supplementation
• How many livestock per feeder
• The priorities of stock groups to supplement
• Training livestock to use feeders
