Innovative science-driven system opens new doors to optimizing feed efficiency
A new research trial in central Alberta is shining the spotlight on a potentially revolutionary new system for optimizing feed efficiency in livestock.
The trial, at Pine Haven beef cattle operation, is led by nutritionists at Country Junction Feeds along with science advisor Dr. Al Schaefer. It involves the innovative application of leading-edge infrared thermography (IRT) technology, integrated with strategic animal nutrition expertise, to support everything from herd improvement planning to advanced precision feeding.
This system, now supported by years of pioneering research and the latest patented technology, shows advantages for reducing the cost of production and environmental impact while supporting continuous improvement each production cycle.
