Feed test results from conserved fodder

EVENT DESCRIPTION

10 am to 1:30 pm

Gippsland farmers spend significant amounts of money on conserving hay and silage each year.

Farmers from the WPCLN sustainable Farming Discussion Group, Buffalo Better Beef Group, and Warragul Beefcheque group have recently taken 70 hay and silage samples and sent them to FeedTest.

Hear Fiona Baker talk about:

• the nutritional content of the 70 samples
• how livestock will perform when fed this fodder
• what to do if the fodder doesn’t meet livestock requirements.

Samples of the hay and silage sampled will be displayed for comparison.

All farmers welcome - catch up with other farmers, learn what the results mean for your livestock, and have a yummy meal together.

10 am to 10:30 am – Morning tea.
10:30 am to 12:30 pm - Presentation / Q&A / view participants samples.
12:30 pm to 1:30 pm – Lunch (provided).

RSVP by 14 April.
