"NUTBAL" (Nutritional Balance Analyzer) Training
Nutritional Workshops are conducted by the
Grazing Lands Technology Institute
throughout the year at various locations around the country, in cooperation with
Texas A&M University. These 2-day workshops are designed to train agency
personnel, cooperating ranchers, extension personnel and researchers in the use
of the NUTBAL software when they work with landowners. NUTBAL is part of the
FOCS Grazing Land Applications software that concerns the relationship between
forage quality and animal well being. If you would like to attend a workshop,
