To better understand locally raised sheep in Hawaii as it relates to their nutritional status and management practices, we have created a survey to gather data from local sheep producers like you to assist us in understanding the nutritional management of your herd. Together with the survey and collaborating producers, we aim to enhance nutritional outreach programs for small ruminants in Hawaii and cater to the needs of producers more effectively.
