Come along and learn about establishing and managing sheep in a confinement feeding area as a tool to help deal with climate volatility and drought, or to manage feed gaps in their yearly program. Presented by Dr Jillian Kelly, veterinarian and ruminant nutritionist, you’ll hear the science behind feeding and see practical examples of how successful confinement feeding areas can be used. These workshops are run in conjunction with locals Erica Schelfhorst (AgVic Bendigo), Dr Frankie Collett (Collett Veterinary and Consultancy Service), Dr Jane Gaussen (The Livestock Vet Pty Ltd) and Roger Harrower (AgVic Swan Hill). This event is supported by Agriculture Victoria’s Drought Support Package.
