SALC LAU PROGRAM UPDATE | We've been working hard to bring our program together for the #SALCLAU2019! @McTay01 from @meatlivestock will be co-presenting a session on the latest in MLA RD&A. Register & more info: https://t.co/SozuuClidC.
@mrjengland No worries, yep in that case I often see the main offenders are a group of ewes that resist the straw for as long as possible in between hay feeds. Then the grain intake (proportionally) tends to fluctuate, cause some digestive upset and pass more grain.
@PeterDutton_MP Stop looking after your own self interest and focus on the long term future of our country, and no, just because you think you would be a better leader does not mean that's what you're doing - we need a govt with stability, foresight and heart, none of which you deliver.
Itโs ewe time!
Today weโre in Walgett NSW with @meatlivestock delivering seasonal information to help you get the best outcome from your sheep flock in the current season.
Tons of practical advice & presentations will be on https://t.co/WK8QZ9AKkG soon!
@pbl1972@sheepGeekCP Work still to be done in that area, however as we are weighing more regularly than current systems it should be less. Outputs dependent on the trial purpose, some work will be RFI, but also simply testing a range of mgmt options, eg feed, shade, water etc
@pbl1972@sheepGeekCP The feed trough is actually a series of individual feed tubs all on loadcells to measure feed consumed each time they eat, liveweight is also collected as the animal feeds.
@mrjengland@TimLeeming@sheepGeekCP Yep 11.5 - 12me, but importantly also about 25% protein and low dry matter content, so good for meeting protein requirements, but may still be short on energy depending on number of lambs
@mooringafarms Brain/spinal cord is usually definitive for sway back (copper) however bloods are unreliable, so if it happened to be based on that I wouldn't rule out Cu, hope they get to the bottom of it for you.
@AchieveAg Only worth supplementing w/ Zn where deficiency exists. I find its most important to manage feed (DM & CP) and footbathing for lameness.
