A new feed database to accelerate decision making, environmental analysis, and soil modelling through access to region-specific nutritional and management data

Peggy Karimi, et al.

The novelty of this feed database is the provision of metadata such as collection site, agroecological zone, fertilization, irrigation, and plant stage together with nutritional quality and productivity for forage and feed materials.
This will enable linking nutritional quality with management to make targeted recommendations suitable for different regions and climates to inform on better feeding options for farmers using locally available resources.
The audience are livestock keepers, land managers, nutritionists, researchers, modelers, and decision makers
