Balancing livestock nutrition
Livestock and their environment
Getting the right balance between key feed groups is crucial within livestock production. A farmer has to be able to calculate feed intake for their animals and make sure the right balance of forage and concentrated feed is achieved to keep animals healthy and in production. This will test students’ maths skills and allow them to relate feed balance to their own diets.
Observing livestock allows farmers and producers to understand the impact of their environment on the animal’s welfare and production. This includes the importance of the five freedoms in ensuring that animals have access to the correct food, water, and safe surrounding in which to flourish. This session will develop an applied understanding of farm animal welfare and involve wider skills such as maths and communication. It will encourage students to think about their own environments and how these impact on their own welfare.
