The project is designed around how to sustainably improve livestock productivity in the face of increasingly variable seasons. Our short length of season makes livestock enterprises highly sensitive to seasonal variation, which can radically impact their output.
This creates a need for systems which can deal with tough, variable seasons, with effective yet flexible management. The MLA funded demonstration site aims to demonstrate a ‘tough season package’, showcasing proven management techniques to deal with varying climate and feed gap issues, in order to increase productivity and profitability while reducing risk.
