“More protein from your own land. That’s what farmers need to prevent high feed costs. Concentrate feed is very expensive and therefore own protein production is necessary.

 

For this reason Barenbrug has launched a new concept: ProtaPlus. ProtaPlus is a seed mixture for short-term protein production. This combination of the best ryegrasses and annual clovers gives a high quality feed for dairy cows.

 

 

ProtaPlus is perfect to feed as silage or fresh grass along with maize silage in your feed ration. It is very palatable and due to its excellent nutritional value milk production will increase. ProtaPlus contains 30 to 50% more digestible protein than pure annual ryegrass. You will harvest so much protein from your land, that each hectare ProtaPlus saves up to €300,- on concentrate purchases.   

 

This Barenbrug product is a perfect intercrop which can be sown after maize or cereals. It can be harvested two or three times during winter and early spring. ProtaPlus is also suitable for grazing cattle or sheep. The nitrogen fixing clovers improve soil structure and fertility. This will improve your land productivity.

 

Several trials and many farm experiences have proven the benefits of Barenbrug’s ProtaPlus concept. In these times when feed costs are high, your own high-quality protein production is essential. ProtaPlus is the right solution which gives more and better protein from your own land. This will ensure profitability and satisfied farming!”
