Forage is the basis for a profitable and sustainable extensive small ruminant operation. It is crucial to manage the pasture and grazing of your herd all year around. During the year, the availability of forage varies considerably. To make optimal use of the forage, a grazing plan along with correct supplementation is essential to maintain productivity and profitability.
In an extensive small ruminant operation it is important to feed enough nutrients, especially around mating, gestation and lactation. We provide you with the necessary supplements in these periods.
