Livestock Services
Taking a holistic and whole farm approach to livestock management can improve your farm business.
Livestock systems depend upon a multitude of key functions that, when managed correctly should complement each other and the farming system as a whole leading to better animal welfare, performance and a more efficient use of resources.
We can help with the planning and integration of animal husbandry, health and welfare, taking into account breeding, nutrition, grazing and forage management, soil fertility, manures and farm infrastructure. This advice is delivered through a one to one farm review with an easy to use follow up report and set of recommendations which highlights areas for improvement for your farm business.
We have listed just some of our livestock services below, but please call, or email: advice@abacusagri.com to discuss your own specific requirements.
