Prepare a feeding plan for specific livestock including:

• rations, properties and quantities;
• water quality (e.g., mineral content);
• time of day, frequency and location;
• time of year; and,
• types of feeding equipment.

Explore ways to identify, address and prevent nutrition and feeding concerns, such as:

• inadequate or improper feed rations;
• consumption of undesirable plant species;
• physiological response to changes in feed (e.g., colic and founder);
• feeding during severe weather;
• feeding plans to allow for time off;
• digestive diseases and disorders;
• foreign objects (e.g., use of magnets); and,
• dehydration.
