Cattle farming: Training on bovine nutrition is coming

The Argentine livestock sector is set to benefit from an advanced training opportunity with the upcoming II Postgraduate Course on Beef Cattle Production and Nutrition. This virtual course aims to equip participants with practical and conceptual tools to enhance beef production systems.

The program, scheduled to run every Wednesday from October 7 to November 4, 2026, will consist of five intensive seminars. Each 120-minute session will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Argentina time. To ensure accessibility and comprehensive learning, all classes will be recorded and shared with attendees, along with supplementary reading materials and practical workshops.

Dr. Aníbal Fernández Mayer, a recognized specialist in beef and dairy cattle nutrition with extensive academic credentials, will lead the course. His expertise will guide participants through critical aspects of cattle management. The curriculum includes detailed discussions on energy and protein supplementation, strategies for using grains, and the importance of high-quality forage reserves like hay and silage.

Further topics will delve into feedlot management, utilizing non-traditional feed sources, and optimizing the use of lower-quality forages. The course is targeted at professionals such as agronomic engineers, veterinarians, and animal scientists, as well as university students who have completed foundational courses in animal nutrition. Early registration, by September 15, costs $120, increasing to $150 thereafter.
