March towards feed quality

Has your feed quality been affected by floods or storms?

Did you cut hay or silage later than expected?

How does this year’s grain stack up for energy and protein?

Agriculture Victoria is offering feed quality tests to check the quality of feed sources.

There are a limited number of tests available, so Agriculture Victoria is encouraging farmers to register now.

After the results have been returned, Agriculture Victoria will host a series of webinars in the community to discuss test results and options to keep your stock as productive as possible.

One free feed quality test (NIR) is available per farmer, with producers encouraged to undertake additional tests on other key feeds at their own cost.

Feed tests are available until Friday 31 March. Participants will be automatically registered for a follow-up webinar on Tuesday 18 April at 7 pm, which will discuss topics such as feed test result interpretation, basic ration formulation, and flood recovery support.
