FODDER AND FORAGE: Creating Diverse Animal Feed Systems in N…

This handbook is designed as a convenient collection of plants and information to aid in the creation of diverse alternative feed systems for your livestock. Pasture is the most common livestock food source utilised by many of New Zealand’s farmers, lifestyle blockers and homesteaders, but there is a vast selection of plants that can be utilised as well. Incorporating trees, shrubs, perennials and herbs into your feed systems can provide medicinal support, improve digestive health and regenerate land health. Utilising traditional methods of tree hay or making tree silage can extend the function of these plants as stored feed for periods of low feed availability. This extends the production capabilities of your property and its resilience capacity.
