IMPORTANCE OF FODDER IN LIVESTOCKS
Fodder, a type of animal feed, is any agricultural foodstuff used specifically to feed domesticated livestock, such as cattle, rabbits, sheep, horses, chickens and pigs. "Fodder" refers particularly to food given to the animals (including plants cut and carried to them), rather than that which they forage for themselves (called forage).
Poultry thrive on fresh vegetation.Feeding fodder will result in higher profitability across the farm,from reduced out-of-pocket feed costs to increased cash flow from products sold as grass fed or organic.
The nutritional composition of fodder makes it a full feed option for piggery and other livestock and will improve their overall health and performance.Incorporating fodder into poultry diets will result in these benefits:
<Better quality eggs with deeper yolk colour
<Enhanced egg state
<Reduced sticky droppings
<High quality meat with bettertexture
<Improved health and energy levels
