Climate-Smart Feed Management

About Us:
The National Animal Nutrition Program (NANP) is at the forefront of advancing science-based information, educational tools, and enabling technologies related to the nutrient needs of agricultural animals. In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Texas A&M AgriLife Research, NANP is launching a Climate-Smart Feed Management (CSFM) committee to enhance livestock feeding practices.

Objectives:
