Project overview:

The research team is developing an integrated simulation model of dairy goat farming systems that connects animal production, feed, crops, and decision support. By examining how these components interact, the model aims to evaluate long-term farm performance, environmental impacts, and profitability. The goal is to help farmers make informed decisions that improve efficiency and sustainability
