The Feed365 Project
Increasing livestock returns by grazing quality forage all year round with minimal supplementary feeding.
The Feed365 Project aims to create livestock forage systems that allow grazing all-year round in Mediterranean environments with minimal supplementary feeding.
In response to the challenges posed by hotter, drier, and more variable seasons, Feed365 aims to develop resilient livestock production systems for West Australian growers. WMG holds two demonstration sites in the West Midlands, but the overall Feed365 project is evaluating a range of novel feedbase options across the Wheatbelt, South West and Great Southern regions.
Commencement: 2022 | Completion: 2024
