Yes, it is that time of the year again! Fodder beet is currently leading the way in the farming industry. It is now being grown in all major dairying regions as well as being used widely across all classes of livestock, especially in Canterbury and Southland Farms where it is common for cows to have a diet of fodder beet for up to six months.
Why? Because Peas and Oats produce spring harvested bulk silage in only 86-90 days. By adding peas which are high in metabolisable energy (ME) and have nearly three times the amount of protein as corn you gain an excellent quality feed.
Chicory is a great quality spring/summer growing herb that is nutritious and palatable for stock feed and when planted and managed properly it can produce around 8 – 16 Ton of DM/ha/year. It is drought tolerant so proves a great option for non-irrigated or summer dry regions and the deep tap root means they can suck up trace elements from the soil.

What is an Endophyte? Endophyte is a natural fungus that is found between the plant cells of Ryegrass that transfer itself into the next grass generation. Endophytes can be found in many grass species but Ryegrass and Tall Fescue are the most common grass varieties for harboring the Endophyte fungus in New Zealand.
