Feeding and Milling – 7. Record Keeping

This course is part of the Fundamentals of Feedlot Nutrition, Feeding and Milling Operations online skills training.  

Being part of the feeding and milling team at your feedlot, you and your team are responsible for accurately capturing and depending on your role, analysing those records. Feedlots maintain records that hold critical information for making the feedlot efficient, safe and to produce optimum feed.
