Feed and Forage Programs

Feed and forage programs involve providing livestock with the necessary nutrients through a carefully planned mix of feeds and forages like hay, silage, and pasture. These programs aim to support animals' health, growth, reproduction, and productivity year-round, especially when natural grazing isn’t available or sufficient. They consider the nutritional needs of different animals at various life stages and ensure a balanced diet. Proper planning prevents nutritional deficiencies, improves farm efficiency, and promotes animal well-being. Overall, these programs are essential management tools for maintaining healthy, productive livestock.
