Forage species

Forage species are plants, such as grasses and legumes, that are cultivated or naturally grow to provide food for grazing animals like cattle, sheep, or goats. These plants are specifically managed to offer nutritious, abundant, and sustainable feed, supporting livestock health and productivity. Different forage species thrive in various climates and soils, and their selection depends on the local environment and the nutritional needs of the animals. Properly chosen and maintained forage species are essential for efficient livestock farming, ensuring animals receive adequate nourishment while minimizing the need for supplemental feed.
