Teagasc nutritionist, Aisling Claffey, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss practical winter feeding strategies for beef farmers. With cattle being housed and feed costs remaining a concern, Aisling outlines how to assess silage quality, make the best use of concentrates, maintain growth rates in weanlings and achieve good finishing performance. The discussion also covers suckler cow nutrition, body condition, minerals and vitamins, and options for farmers facing silage shortages following earlier drought conditions. Get practical advice to help farmers make informed feeding decisions, maintain animal performance and manage winter feed costs effectively.
