Fodder Facts - Winter Feeding of Cattle and Sheep
Fodder Facts provides guidance for livestock producers on winter feeding of cattle and sheep. The aim is to assist producers to plan and manage winter fodder supplies. It will provide guidance on how to assess the quantity of fodder available and estimate the amount required to carry various classes of stock through the winter.
Where fodder is likely to be scarce, Fodder Facts provides suggestions on alternative feeds and their value compared to barley and soya. It also provides options which can be considered depending on individual circumstances.
If you require further information on feeding options or ration formulation contact your local Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) Development Adviser
