Agricultural Livestock

Agricultural Livestock
A decline in the grazing livestock industry in the East of England has led to concerns that grassland in the region is becoming under-grazed. This is a particular issue on sites that require grazing for ecological and landscape reasons. In contrast the pig and poultry sectors have shown strong levels of collaboration and professionalism.
This group will focus on animal health issues, improving profitability of enterprises and will include the adoption of technology through genetics, nutrition and business planning.
Agricultural Livestock Skills Group
The Farming Industry is set to lead its own training agenda and a network of Industry Groups have been established under the chairmanship of eminent farmers. Along with industry support, they will keep a watchful eye on the delivery of training in their skills area and provide support to the region’s training deliverers to ensure that they have an up-to-date view of the industry and its challenges.

Due to a mixture of different factors, including economic and environmental, the industry is facing many challenges. There has been a steady decline in the grazing livestock industry in the East of England. This has led to concerns that grassland in the region is becoming under-grazed. The pig and poultry sector has faced other challenges. Our training offers you the chance to improve your knowledge of animal health and welfare, business planning and marketing in order to run a modern and successful livestock business.
