Animal and crop production as both integrated and separate systems, emphasising rotational principles. Application of scientific principles to cropping decisions (e.g. monitoring, precision management, pest management, yield assessment, harvest) and animal management (e.g. lambing, remote monitoring, green feed budgeting, preparing conserved feed). Information will be delivered in the context of the animal production and crop production year. Students need to demonstrate completion of four weeks work experience in an agriculture or equine industry of their choice. The unit will incorporate a class experiment and local Livestock Updates. Students will also undertake fieldwork in this unit. -- Course Website
