Description
Portland Kale Brassica is a cultivar of the Brassica family that is specifically bred for use as a forage crop for grazing animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats. It is known for its high yield, fast growth, and nutritional benefits, making it an ideal option for farmers looking to provide their animals with high-quality forage throughout the grazing season.
Portland Kale Brassica is a leafy plant that has a high leaf-to-stem ratio, which makes it particularly palatable to grazing animals. This means that animals are more likely to consume the entire plant, rather than just picking out the tastiest parts and leaving the rest to go to waste.
In terms of nutritional content, Portland Kale Brassica is an excellent source of protein, energy, and minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus. It is also low in fiber, which makes it easy for animals to digest and utilize the nutrients within the plant.
One of the unique features of Portland Kale Brassica is its high glucosinolate content. Glucosinolates are compounds that have been shown to have anti-cancer properties and may help to improve animal health and performance.
Portland Kale Brassica is also known for its hardiness and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it a reliable option for farmers who are looking for a low-maintenance crop that can provide high-quality forage throughout the grazing season.
