We are studying the use of ground woody products in livestock diets to synergistically enhance natural resources and decrease livestock production costs.
Did you know that there is only 1 feed ingredient in existence (after it gets approved by FDA), which: (1) requires no inputs (cultivated land, cultivation, seed, fertilizer, water, pesticides, or herbicides) by man to grow; (2) grows 365 days a year; (3) is not subject to seasonal price fluctuation; (4) when harvested, can synergistically enhance natural resources, increase forage production, lan
d value, and surface water; and (5) reduce wildfires and allergens? Contact me ([email protected]) for a packet, which contains information related to this feed ingredient; ground wood. Summaries of various research trials completed by the TX A&M AgriLife Research Wood to Feed Program are in the packet, along with some relevant articles, to reveal that using ground woody products in livestock diets is not a novel idea. Ground wood has successfully been used for over a 100 years. Those involved in the Wood to Feed program are compassionate about synergistically helping ranchers reduce feed costs, helping landowners reduce brush infestation and enhance forage production and land value, and helping rural communities remain economically viable. Due to positive results of multiple research projects that we have completed in the past 10 years with cattle, sheep, goats, and deer, along with the long history of safely using ground woody products in feed, we are confident that ground juniper will become a commercially-viable feed ingredient. Send me your contact information (name, mailing address, email) if you would like to be added to a mailing list and receive research updates, notices of upcoming conferences and other activities, etc. Additional information related to our TX A&M AgriLife Wood to Feed Program can be found at: http://sanangelo.tamu.edu/people/faculty-2/trw/wood2feed
