Feed as Medicine With Dr. Fred Provenza (Part 1 of 3)
March 30, 2021
In this first webinar in a three-part series, guest presenter Dr. Fred Provenza will discuss the wisdom of the body focusing on livestock and how animal feed can serve a medicinal purpose. We will begin this three-part series by discussing how access to a variety of forages affects flavor-feedback associations and enables livestock to meet nutritional and medicinal needs. Understanding these relationships creates opportunities for people to consider the costs and benefits of cafeteria mineral supplements; to train livestock to eat (invasive plants) or avoid (poisonous plants, grape vines in vineyards, young trees in forest plantations) particular plants; and to rejuvenate landscapes for the benefit of both wild and domestic animals.
