PGS Feeder Optimising irrigated clover

Profitable Grazing Systems (PGS) is one of Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)’s adoption programs, which will drive measurable, improved business performance outcomes for participating red meat producers by developing and improving their skillsets based on a set curriculum for a variety of areas, including improved feed base and pasture quality and productivity. This project created the Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)-owned supported learning project (SLP) documentation and plan for the PGS package designed to provide sheep producers with information on clover agronomy and grazing management to promote improved livestock productivity outcomes, animal welfare and economic performance.
