Feed management challenges for beef growers
Growers
Beef cattle are reared for optimal muscle and frame development, maximising growth and minimising fat deposition. The growing, or backgrounding phase, occurs between weaning and moving the animal from pasture or intensive farming to the finishing phase, usually at a feedlot. Trouw Nutrition helps support the nutritional, health and wellbeing needs of cattle at every stage of development.

Symposium
Modern challenges are shaping a new reality for the global pork industry. Businesses have to navigate the “new normal”. The urge to produce healthy protein for a growing global population is challenging farmers to reinvent their business to do more with less while factoring in animal welfare and profitability. But two things have stayed as true as ever in this fast-paced industry: science can help you make the best decisions; and the earlier in your animals’ life phase you implement those decisions, the higher the potential to unlock lifelong results. With this in mind, Trouw Nutrition is delighted to invite you to the online conference LifeStart Swine, Nourishing Animal & Business Potential.
This digital event brings together the latest scientific findings and farm business practices to empower pig producers to lead sustainable, productive and economically viable businesses. The three-hour conference will take place on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, at two different times so people from all time zones can participate. More information will follow soon!
