Integrated Crop & Livestock Farming System

One farm where crop and livestock enterprises feed each other rather than compete.

Overview

About this project

Run separately, crops and livestock compete for the same land, labour and money. Run together, the residues of one become an input to the other — manure to the fields, crop residue and by-products to the animals.

This work covered designing and running an integrated crop and livestock system, where the two enterprises are planned as one operation with a shared calendar and shared resources.

Scope of work

  • Whole-farm enterprise design
  • Nutrient cycling between crop and livestock units
  • Shared labour and activity calendar
  • Combined input planning
  • Integrated performance review
