Gippsland Red Meat Conference

Jess Revell is presenting at the 2026 Gippsland Red Meat Conference!

Every feeding decision either puts kilograms on your livestock or costs you kilograms.

As an independent livestock nutritionist, Jess Revell works with producers to turn feeding decisions into profitable outcomes. In this practical session, Jess will explore the critical choices producers make when containment feeding livestock, from ration formulation and feed quality through to animal health and water requirements.

Drawing on her extensive experience across southern Australian grazing systems, Jess will challenge producers to think beyond simply getting animals through a tough season and instead focus on making feeding decisions that protect performance, welfare and profitability.

Because when feed is expensive and conditions are tough, every mouth matters and every choice counts.
