The animal digestibility workshop is back !

All of our animals, both dairy cows and heifers, are returned to the barn at the end of November and are fed grass silage, cereal-legume crops silage, silage wraps and hay. In order to provide data for the national feed tables, we want to know the digestibility of our forages.
