To manage risk and seasonal variability there needs to be flexibility in grazing management and more information available to address nutritional deficiencies in low rainfall pastures and alternative grazing crops such as pulses.

The first year of results are in for the AWI Feed Nutrition project that aims to identify the nutritional value and mineral content of a range of Mallee pastures and grazing crops including the variance between seasons over two years and develop a dataset of the nutritional value and mineral content of low rainfall pastures for use by producers and industry.

Hamish Dickson from AgriPartner Consulting joins Tanja Morgan, MSF, to share the findings from sampling 11 pasture and crop types in different seasons to better understand the nutritional quality of paddock feed in low rainfall environments. 

First year results are also available in the MSF compendium article available here

This project has been funded by Australian Wool Innovation.
