Transformational and integrated feedbase for mixed farming zones of southern Australia

The project will increase sustainability and productivity in the mixed farming zone of WA and NSW using advanced forage systems to support livestock enterprises. It will compare emerging and existing forage options, identify novel mixtures and demonstrate more practical and flexible options to transform feed supply and fill nutrient gaps for greater winter biomass, use annual legumes to extend the growing season, and strategic forage conservation and perennial systems targeting soils marginal for cropping.
