Collaborator(s):

Description:

The Eduador and Perú Fellows spent 2 weeks in and around Raleigh, North Carolina to receive training on pasture management in order to increase the health and production of the animals in their respective home countries.  Through this Cochran Fellowship, the Fellows met with scientific experts within the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the USDA Farm Service Agency.  Additionally, they met with NC State University faculty involved in pasture management, grass breeding, livestock nutrition, silvopastures, and forages and pastures research.  To round out the training, the Fellows also visited local farms as well as NC State University experimental research facilities.  The objective of the training was to expose the Fellows to best management practices to help maximize the health of their animals while conserving pastures for the future.
