Sustainable farming practices can be a win/win scenario for everyone involved in a livestock operation. Farming sustainably means farming efficiently and minimizing input costs. It also means optimizing feed conversion and maximizing animal health.
Feed cost is a large percentage of any animal farm?s budget. Feeding an animal its optimal diet can lead to the most efficient feeding program. Leonardo Gondim, strategy, portfolio, and SMT Director for Cargill animal nutrition, says that using precision tools to design a feed formulation can go a long way towards helping profitability.
Gondim says that a sustainable farm has a balance of profitability and building for the long-term operation of the farm.
Leonardo Gondim says that as farming uses more technical tools and data analytics it is important to not be afraid to ask for help.
