ALERT Alarming trend: Nocturnal feeding of lambing ewes. This is a risky practice. High portion births overnight, it takes 6hrs for ewes to imprint, increased predator activity and confusion with sound of other vehicles. Ideally feed 2pm. #feedingsheep #lambingewes Delta Agribusiness
With the welcome rain forecast for the weekend it's a bleaker prospect for our livestock: wet, low temps and wind. An increase in roughage will give them an inner blanket. Roughage fermentation creates heat raising body temp Delta Agribusiness #sheep365 #Cattle #LivestockManagement
ALERT: Nitrate Poisoning - there have been reports of nitrate poisoning in sheep grazing failed canola crops. Manage by grazing for a few hours for initial 5-7 days, feed before grazing (prevent gorging) and provide ad lib hay Delta Agribusiness #LivestockManagement #sheep365 #cattle
For those in the southern regions where the decision has recently been made regarding grazing canola Delta Agribusiness #NitratePoisoning #LivestockManagement
Break the fly cycle by protecting sheep against fly strike with an IGR. Apply early before flies emerge. Not only are you protecting production performance but potentially reducing subsequent fly population. Delta Agribusiness #sheep365 #LivestockManagement
Are your maidens protected from #ClostridialDisease? Ensure continuous protection, run them through the yards at the same time as your weaners to give them a booster. Don’t forget #BoosterShots when transitioning onto highly-digestible, low-fibre diets. #MaidenEwes Delta Agribusiness
Time to tighten feeders! During the hot weather animals tend to prioritise water and shade over food. This becomes an issue with stock on grain feeders, particularly in stubble paddocks. After a few days they gorge themselves, leading to #acidosis. #SheepProduction Delta Agribusiness
LFR Grenfell February Grower Meeting: B&E rolls to start. There will be panel style forum to discuss current seasonal issues. We encourage your participation. 8/10 people will probably have the same query! Delta Agribusiness
Pulled up at Bellata Roadhouse on Saturday for a feed and shower. Pleasantly surprised to find some quality reading material! Delta Agribusiness #TruckingLife
#Johnes is NOT the Boogie man it once was. Let's remove the stigma and make the decision to work together to protect our livelihood. This is a timely reminder to review your status and biosecurity #vaccination #SheepHealthStatement Delta Agribusiness
Get some roughage out to keep your livestock cosy during the cold snap. Heat is a byproduct of fibre digestion which warms from the inside out. They also tend to go off feed during inclement weather. Time to tighten up feeders to prevent gorging Delta Agribusiness #LivestockManagement
Inspired!! Another amazing cohort of rural women leading industry! Spent my whole journey home thinking about how to take my project to the next level #DreamingBig #rwa2019 AgriFutures Australia Westpac Bank
Before you open the gate onto green paddocks! Consider pulpy kidney vaccination, summer weed toxicity & does the FOO provide enough nutrition, particularly for growing stock. #LivestockManagement Delta Agribusiness
Family farming businesses take heed! This is a timely reminder to review your cyber security as we drive production through technology adoption. A great place to start is the AgriFutures Australia facts sheet.#farming #precisionag #agtech #smallbusinessowners agrifutures.com.au/product/cyber-…
