Summary
This project aimed to review the technologies that are not currently practiced in the Australian feedlot industry, and how these technologies can complement current technologies and ultimately their effects on cattle performance. A best practice manual was also developed to be used by feedlot operators as a guideline on grain processing. The research gaps in grain processing and feeding practices were explored to identify the opportunities that can enhance the efficiency of grain processing methods that are cost-effective and can improve animal performance.
