Summer Troubles
Wednesday, July 28th, 12pm - 1pm
Lush pastures and range areas, warmer temperatures, and the potential for high production and growth rates make summer a great time for poultry and their caretakers. However, it's not the time to let your management relax. Predator pressure along with the unique challenges of warm, humid weather can result in production losses and bird stress. Join CCE educators as they help navigate the potential pitfalls of summer to keep your flocks happy, healthy, and productive.
Topics and speakers will include the following:
Predator Control - Presented by Lynn Bliven, Ag and Natural Resources Issue Leader of CCE Allegany and Nancy Glazier, Small Farms and Livestock Specialist with the Northwest NY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program
Summer Pasture and Free Range Management - Presented by Michelle Proscia, Agriculture Educator of CCE Sullivan
Mitigating Heat Stress - Presented by Amy Barkley, Livestock and Beginning Farm Specialist with the SWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program
