About the workshop:
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has defined feed management as one of the core 6 elements of a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan that would be required of permitted Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
The Mid Atlantic region is collaborating on an educational program for nutritionists, consultants and NRCS staff interested in learning about the development of a feed management plan and how they are implemented. For nutritionists, the workshop will provide an opportunity on how to become a certified Feed Management Planner/ technical service provider (TSP).
The program will:
- Outline the process to become a “certified” Feed Management Planner
- Define the conditions where a Feed Management Plan is valuable
- Outline the process for evaluating the opportunities that merit Feed Management Plan development.
- Demonstrate tools that can assist with evaluating an operation’s whole farm balance, cost of manure transport, and effects of diet on manure nutrients
- Demonstrate the use of on-farm assessment tools for development of a Feed Management Plan
