Since 2016, the FeedFIT® Feeder Training program has impacted hundreds of feeders, feed managers and the bottom line of dairy operations. Feed and how it is fed is arguably the most important part of any dairy—small or large. For this reason, providing the training and understanding the basics of dairy nutrition, feed mixing and on-time delivery are critical. GPS Dairy Consulting has organized a series of feeder schools designed in three-tiers to teach dairy nutrition basics to front-line feed managers. The goal of the FeedFIT® Feeder Training program is to elevate the feeder position in the industry to better align with the fiscal impact the feeding management has on any dairy. The certification program allows feeders to learn, grow and advance in their responsibilities and performance. These sessions are presented in English and Spanish!

The GPS Feeder Training program is one of multiple modules offered through the FeedFIT® program. Learn more about FeedFIT®.
