Lobster asked:
I have heard that in NZ, cattle consumes around 20 kilos of grass per day and sheep consumes 2 kilos, I would like to know if that figures is right, or, are those animals eat dry food like corn starch? And how many kilos does them eat a day.
Are those animal feed necessary? Or its simply some kind of health supplement?
How many Farmers will buy animal feed for cattle and sheep in NZ (percentage?)
