Drought Management

In times of drought, it is more important than ever to make the most of your resources.

Beware of quick-fix products and those offering unqualified assistance or those with other agendas. There are many questions that you might have, and a considered approach will provide the best outcomes.

Questions that you might ask are:

• minerals and trace elements, do I need them?
• will my drought rations sustain my livestock?
• what are the most cost efficient feeding strategies?
• should I establish a containment area?

We are skilled in assisting all types of farming systems with these questions and can also help with:

• feed budgets
• ration formulation in paddock and containment situations
• Gross margin budgeting
• Management of stock within containment areas.

Information about feed budgets is available on our feed budgets page.

We are able to provide assistance one-on-one or via workshops for small groups.

We may also be able to recommend government assistance plans which may be suited to your individual operation. Check our Working With... page for more information.
