Understanding the grass quality will enable you to plan for silage fermentation and help you plan your grass and forage throughout the season. It will also allow you to optimise feed value and livestock productivity.
The challenge is to produce enough winter forage at an appropriate quality for the stock that is going to eat it.
What are the benefits of a nutritional evaluation?

This information is crucial for formulating balanced diets for livestock, ensuring they receive adequate nutrition for growth, reproduction, and overall health. | READ MORE
