Livestock Producers Reminded To Test Feed

Manitoba Beef Producers is giving an update on the feed situation.

Melissa Atchison is the organization's vice president.

"If we can work with our annual crop producers to maybe use some of those low quality or low yielding grains that would be really helpful and promote some good will across the industry," she said. "I think there's going to be a lot of straw being fed this year. Check it for nitrates, get it feed tested and make sure your ration is balanced by a qualified nutritionist. Just to avoid any metabolic wrecks that could occur."

Atchison commented on the collaboration between livestock and crop producers.

"Certainly there's been a few producers who are really putting the word out there that they've got some crop that they would sooner switch to alternate use and there's been some good collaboration across the industry. It's been really nice to see. I understand they're in a really tight spot too, with feed grain prices and forward contacts. We're all in this together, it's been a bad year for everybody but I really am happy to see some of that collaboration across the industry."
