PROJECT
FEED365 is a four-year project (2021–2025) under the SheepLinks program that engages sheep producers and allied industries to re-design livestock forage systems for grazing all-year-round in Mediterranean environments.
The SheepLinks program is a partnership between the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and the Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), to underpin the future prosperity of the sheep industry in Western Australia.
The desired long term outcomes of the Feed365 project is to reduce supplementary feeding costs of a typical mixed farming business by 30% and lift on-farm profitability by 10%.
RegenWA has partnered with farmers in the areas surrounding Perth, to trial paddock-scale multi-species pastures and evaluate their potential for filling the summer-autumn feed gap. Field walks are being hosted at each of these sites.
