Feedlot Management Course

Description

Why take a feedlot management course?

Feedlotting, zero-grazing, and intensive feeding aren’t just about putting animals in a pen and feeding them — done right, they’re a deliberate management tool for specific situations. This course walks you through when intensive feeding makes sense, how to do it well, and what the law requires of you if you do.

When feedlotting makes sense

You’ll learn the key reasons producers turn to feedlotting or intensive feeding, including:

• Growing out young stock efficiently under controlled conditions
• Rounding off stock after grazing on veld — adding value before sale
• Droughts and the dry season, when veld grazing can’t carry your herd
• Critical feeding times in the reproduction cycle, where nutrition has an outsized impact on performance

Understand the legal requirements

Intensive feeding operations come with compliance obligations, and this course covers what you need to know, including:

• EU Certification of the facility, for producers supplying export markets
• BAITS compliance and what it means for your traceability and record-keeping
