DPI and Healthy Land & Water are bringing you Sensible Supplementation workshops to learn all things cattle nutrition.

The workshops will discuss the fundamentals that must be considered for effective management of animal nutrition and supplementation. Topics will include:
• Nutrition fundamentals
• Nutrient requirements
• Identifying limiting nutrients
• Protein, energy and phosphorus supplementation
• Breeder herd management to minimise supplement costs
• Evaluating supplement options

Producers can have the nutritional value and cost effectiveness of their supplements evaluated at these workshops if they send supplement details before the workshops.
