SUMMARY:Webinar – Forage 4 Knowledge with Dr David Davies and Dr Helen Warren
DESCRIPTION:This year’s grass growth is higher than in previous years (check out our Forage Forcast) but forage is such an important part of our horse’s diet that we should really take a closer look at it.  Please join us for all things forage:\n\nWhat do we mean by forage?\nFresh forage – factors affecting growth and nutrient quality\nFrom standing crop to feed-out – principles and pitfalls of conserving and storing forage\nSilage, haylage and hay – how they compare and what to look out for\nNutrient vs. hygienic quality \nUnderstanding forage analyses – the good, the bad and the ugly\nFeeding forages\n\n[button link=”https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vGfVJGRfSuWGSRS02jC1Bg” size=”large” color=”default”]REGISTER HERE[/button]\nFORAGE FORECAST:\nAs always DrDavidMarlin.com is here to help support you and throughout June we will be running our Forage Forecast. Where UK hay crop is concerned, we need to hope for the best but prepare for the worst and we are planning to keep you informed every step of the way.  Dr David Marlin is watching the grass grow very closely to gauge whether we are set for another hay shortage or not and will be keeping you informed via the website news page and private club FB page with our Friday Forage Up-date!\nMore about the speakers:\nDr Dave Davies\nDavid is the son of a farmer from the Welsh Border country. He carried out a degree in\nMicrobiology at the Aberystwyth University and then followed this by conducting a PhD\njointly at the University of Manchester and the former Grassland Research Institute at Hurley.\nHe graduated with his doctorate entitled ‘Growth and Survival of Anaerobic Fungi in Batch\nCulture and in the Digestive Tract of Ruminants’ in 1991. After his PhD he remained\nworking predominantly at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research in\nAberystwyth. He has been involved in many projects all focused on improving silage quality for\nmeat and milk production from ruminant livestock in a environmentally and economically\nsustainable way. From 2007 he led the silage research portfolio at the institute. He has been\ninvolved in the development and assessment of a wide range of forage additives and has\nspoken and published widely on the subject. Then in April 2010 he left the institute and took\nthe decision to set up his own company called Silage Solutions Ltd., aimed at providing new\nproducts and impartial advice to the agricultural community in its broadest sense. Dr Davies\ncontinues to conduct research for third parties including NGO’s and commercial companies. He\nalso has long standing associations with research establishments in the UK and Europe.\nDr Helen Warren:\nDr Helen Warren who is the European Technical Manager (Ruminants & Horses) for Alltech Ltd, Chair of the British Society of Animal Science Stakeholder’s Committee, Trustee of the British Society of Animal Science (BSAS) and Senior Visiting Fellow in the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences at Nottingham Trent University.\n
