Innovations & Advice for Your Forage Crops
Stay informed about the latest advances, field reports, and expert advice to optimize your yields and feed autonomy.
What are the benefits of BMR sorghum?
BMR (Brown MidRib) sorghums offer exceptional digestibility and a unique nutritional profile: 1 UFL with very little starch, rich in highly digestible fiber, and high in sugars. They are drought-tolerant and ensure a reliable forage supply under difficult climatic conditions, while improving the herd’s health.
Why choose Leafy corn?
Leafy corn varieties are characterized by their high number of leaves (8 to 12 above the ear) and their starchy, highly digestible endosperm. They provide a better fiber-to-starch balance in the diet, reducing the risk of metabolic disorders in ruminants and improving milk production or growth.
How to successfully establish a single-cut forage sorghum crop?
For successful implementation:
- Sow starting in May in most regions.
- Choose well-prepared, well-drained soil.
- Use an appropriate seeding rate (170,000 to 230,000 seeds per hectare).
- Choose varieties that are suited to your region and your farming system.
Are corn-lablab crop rotations suitable for all types of farms?
Yes, these associations are particularly interesting for:
- Improve the nitrogen value of forage.
- Increase the farm's protein self-sufficiency.
- Optimize the degradability of starch and fiber. They are suitable for both conventional and organic systems and can be adapted to protein and energy requirements.
