Containment Feeding

Full Name: Containment Feeding to Boost Business Performance and Resilience
Funding Body: SA Drought Hub
Duration: 2024
Project Lead: University of Adelaide
Contact: Rachel Trengove, UNFS
Objective: This project aims to boost the adoption of containment feeding systems on farms by training and assembling a network of containment adoption advisors, connected to farming systems groups working directly with livestock producers. The project will train advisors, develop learning resources, conduct small group producer workshops, and provide 1 on 1 advice so farmers are supported in the planning, implementation and operation of containment systems that are appropriate to their farming operation. The project will also be tailored to regions, as well as individual farm businesses, to cater for those at different stages of adoption.
