"The method of harvesting and manufacturing silage is also detailed," he said here, yesterday.
With that knowledge, it is hoped that the participants, future livestock feed operators and breeders will be able to generate continuous pasture yields for their own livestock.
He said it was to reduce the cost of purchasing forage as well as quality pasture grass can be sold to breeders who need fresh grass.
