Healthcare and Management
The Small Holder Range has been based on many years of scientific and practical research into the needs and feeding requirements of Small Holder animals. Along the way we have gathered much information about the best practices of feeding, maintenance and healthcare. Below you will find brief summaries and links to many articles that we believe will be of help in your animal husbandry.
This section will be regularly updated, so please keep checking for new articles and information. Alternatively up to date feeding and care information can be found on the Defra website.
