OK-Net Ecofeed: rotational grazing for organic pregnant sows to replace protein components

An interesting video of OK-Net Ecofeed project (it can be downloaded HERE) highlights a research on rotational grazing to replace protein components in organic pregnant sows. As approximately 80% of production costs are feed costs, the video shows that it possible to partially replace feed with grazing. Grassland rich in legumes, rotated properly with paddocks can help to replace some supplied feed and therefore decrease production costs.

Feeding strategies for organic broiler chickens

Organic broilers grow slower than conventional birds and so producers face the challenge of feeding quality feed components at lower concentrations. Feed needs to fulfil the amino acid and energy requirements of broilers for efficient growth and development, but growth is slower. Choice of feeding, access to range and forages can increase the utilisation of protein and energy, which will increase feed efficiency. The requirements for birds to use the range area is part of the solution.
