In BMR (Brown Mid Rib) types, the leaf midrib has a brownish color. These types offer higher sugar
content and better palatability than standard sorghum-sudan grass varieties.
In standard sorghum-sudan grass types, animal digestibility is around 45-50%, while in
BMR types it reaches 80-85%. This means animals benefit from the crop much more
efficiently, providing almost twice the feeding value.
Compared with standard types, Hay Buster BMR offers stronger lodging resistance, broad
leaves and vigorous tillering.
Higher sugar content, juicy growth and high forage yield make it a palatable, nutritious
annual crop that supports meat and milk production.
Recommended for dairy and beef cattle, sheep, goats and similar livestock, the crop can
be fed as green forage or silage.
Regrowth continues after cutting, allowing several cuttings per
season.
The first cutting should be made when plant height reaches 100-120 cm.
A 15 cm cutting height protects the plant's growing point and supports strong
regrowth.
Following cuttings are also recommended at 100-120 cm; depending on climate and soil
conditions, this usually means every 25-35 days.
For silage, the ideal harvest stage is around 150 cm plant height.
Under suitable conditions, 3-5 cuttings can be obtained in one season.
