Keeping livestock out of confinement during the winter-feeding period is a common management tool that can add organic matter to the site, reduce labour inputs and reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers for the subsequent crop. Examples of winter-feeding practices that can achieve this goal include bale grazing, swath grazing, corn grazing, grazing stockpiled forages and processing feed onto snow or into portable feeders.
There are many factors to consider when selecting a new wintering site, so it is important to select a site that is set up to address livestock needs, feed requirements and minimize environmental risk.
Items to consider include:
Taking these items into consideration is crucial to having a successful winter-feeding period. There are various challenges producers may face during the winter and a backup plan may be required if they are faced with inclement weather conditions, inadequate feed quality or quantity or water source issues.
Funding is available through the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership for the development of new wintering sites or improving existing wintering sites. To find out more, call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377 to get in touch with your local agri-environmental specialist.
