Event Description:

Led by Texas A&M Agrilife Research, this project introduces historically underserved producer groups to non-invasive grazing animal nutritional monitoring methods via peer-to-peer workshops. The project provides high-impact experiential learning opportunities for producers and NRCS personnel via grazing animal performance demonstrations and upgrades of the fecal near infrared spectroscopy/Nutritional Balance Analyzer (FNIRS/Nutbal) system in real-world production settings. This project is made possible through support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Grazingland Conservation Initiative.
