“Understanding Northern Feed Ingredients” Short Course Is Oct. 25-27

Learn from experts how to manufacture livestock feeds that take advantage of combinations of regional legumes, pulses, grains, oilseeds and co-products. The “Understanding Northern Feed Ingredients” short course will be Oct. 25-27 at the Northern Crops Institute, Fargo, ND.

Regionally recognized nutrition faculty will discuss the use of combinatorial feeds in livestock diets. The staff at NCI’s Feed Production Center will demonstrate the production of these feeds and provide for hands-on training opportunities. See first-hand how to manufacture combinatorial feeds and capture their value through increased livestock performance. Gain a clearer understanding of how combinations of ingredients can increase nutrient density and then, take advantage of that increase in livestock production.

The course is intended for feed manufacturers, livestock producers and nutritionists.

Course topics will include: nutrition review; proteins and lipids; combinatorial feeds in livestock production; review of the pelleting process, including steam quality and die design; and hands-on pellet production.
