The primary consideration when supplementing sheep either at pasture, in containment areas or in feedlots is the cost-efficiency of any feeding decision. As there are many supplement options, from forage crops to grain screenings and by-products, it is impossible to generalise about which feeding strategy is most cost-effective, except on a case by case basis. Animal welfare should also be considered to fully account for the potential cost of a decision not to supplement. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | International Sheep and Wool Handbook, p. 331-372 | Publisher: | Nottingham University Press | Place of Publication: | Nottingham, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781904761860 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070204 Animal Nutrition | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830310 Sheep - Meat 830311 Sheep - Wool |
