Dear Colleagues,
The Animal Production and Health Division of FAO is pleased to invite you to the webinar. This webinar will take you through the software, step-by-step, so that you could use it to formulate least cost ration for lactating cows.

The FAO Ration Formulation Tool will assist you in achieving this.

Duration: Approx. 90  min (70 min demonstration of the tool with examples; 20 min Q&A session)
