Meeting Your Livestock’s Nutritional Needs With Forages
Jessica Williamson, Hay and Forage Specialist, AGCO
Ruminant livestock have a unique digestive system that requires roughage, most commonly in the form of forages, to digest feedstuffs. As livestock grow, mature, and go through various phases of production, their nutritional needs change as well. Ensuring optimal animal performance – whether that be growth, lactation, or gestation – requires optimal nutrition that meets or exceeds their dietary requirements at a given stage of life.
Forage Quality – What Does It Mean and Why Does It Matter?
Jessica Williamson, Hay and Forage Specialist, AGCO
You know it takes the best forage to grow the best livestock. But what, exactly, does it mean to have high-quality forage? How do you attain the best forage while balancing yield?
Let’s take a deeper look at what goes into forage quality and how Massey Ferguson machines can help you get the most out of your crop.
