Teaser: | Forage hedges as supplementtary forage supply in dry periods. |
What problem does the tool address?: | Global warming is having a particular impact on ruminant farms, which are increasingly having to contend with summer droughts. |
What solution does the tool offer?: | To counteract the lack of grass and protect the animals from extreme heat, fodder trees and shrubs can be a good solution. Some of the woody fodder plants have very interesting feed values and are readily eaten by the animals. However, the planting must be carried out with foresight and in a well-thought-out manner in order to optimally manage this additional feed resource and ensure the good development of the trees. |
