Webinar: Feed Efficiency

This All About Feed webinar will focus on Feed Efficiency. The money spent on animal feed takes up the majority of the production costs on a farm. Therefore, it is important to get the most out of every kilogram of feed that is consumed by the animals, known as feed efficiency. This is not new, but even more relevant than ever, as constantly changing dynamics in agriculture keeps on challenging the animal protein supply. With tailor made feeding strategies, it is possible to enter the next stage of feed efficiency. In this webinar the latest genetic and nutritional strategies will be highlighted to work towards an improved feed efficiency.
