Creating diverse animal feed systems in New Zealand

Fodder and Forage

By Rebecca Stewart

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. Incorporating trees, shrubs, perennials and herbs into your feed systems can provide nutritious feed, 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.
