WA Beef Cattle Nutrition | Putting the Science into Practice
If you were lucky enough to attend our Beef Cattle Nutrition in Practice workshop back in August this year, you would have had the opportunity to hear from today’s guest, livestock production specialist and Honorary Research Fellow in the UWA Institute of Agriculture - Dr John Milton. If you didn’t get there, then this episode catches you up on the great information you missed out on!
In this episode the West Midlands Group’s Beef Development Officer, Charles Callaghan caught up with, Dr John Milton to discuss the following questions from cattle producers:
- What are the fundamentals of animal nutrition?
- Key points when matching the available feed to the animal requirements
- What’s the process for implementing a supplementary feeding program
Now, the information is fairly technical so feel free to get in touch with Charles if you have any questions or if you would like to get in touch with Dr John Milton. Their contact details are below.
