FineResults Research Services would like to invite you to take part in our upcoming workshops on Agricultural courses at our FineResults Research Services training facilities in Nairobi, Kenya or online. 20th to 24th February 2023 Feeds formulation and milling technology for increased milk quantity and quality 15th to 19th May 2023 Feeds formulation and milling technology for increased milk quantity and quality 24th to 28th July 2023 Feeds formulation and milling technology for increased milk quantity and quality 13th to 17th November 2023 Feeds formulation and milling technology for increased milk quantity and quality Introduction Dairy production is a tool to poverty alleviation and promoting food security due to its nature of providing regular income to households through sale of milk. Dairying is however faced with various challenges including feed shortage and low quality of feeds that limit dairy production, high costs of concentrates which are also of poor quality, high costs of feeds and inadequate advice on dairy cattle feeding and feed formulations for the farms and limited knowledge on best feeding practices among other challenges. As a result of these challenges, dairy farmers end up making losses or stagnant in their production which is contrary to their goal of making profit. Understanding how to formulate feeds can go a long way in improving feeding of dairy animals and in reducing feeds costs.
