ALTERNATIVE FORAGE CROPS- II

One of the most important problems of the enterprises is to provide the quality roughage required for livestock activities in a healthy way. Demand of Increasing the feed production required by the animals and on the other hand reducing the increasing costs push the producers to search for many alternatives. Their expertise in forage crop production and their access to the necessary tools to grow alternative forage crops suggest that many producers can implement the idea of diversifying their production. Legumes and grasses are generally used in the production of forage crops. However, many plant species from other families are also used as fodder plants. Many annual and perennial species, which are among these plants that can be used both as cultivated and as they are found in nature, and which we can define as alternative forage crops, will help livestock enterprises by supporting legumes and grasses used primarily in forage production.
