Dairy farms need a fodder calendar, not one purchase
Livestock and dairy farms run on continuous green feed. A single seed purchase cannot cover the year. Multicut jowar/SSG, fodder bajra, fodder maize and oats together build a practical fodder calendar.
Fodder seeds should be chosen for biomass, leafiness, cutting interval and season fit. Quality fodder seed from a reliable seed company keeps milk animals and cattle on a steadier nutrition plan.
Summer fodder: jowar, bajra and maize
Fast-growing summer fodder fills gaps when green feed is scarce. Fodder bajra and multicut jowar/SSG are popular for repeated cuts. Fodder maize adds high-biomass energy feed for dairy herds.
Select GOT-tested or carefully produced fodder seed lots so germination and plant type stay consistent across the field. Uneven fodder stands waste land and delay the first cut.
Rabi fodder: oats for cool-season green feed
Cool-season oats support winter dairy nutrition when summer crops are finished. Oats fodder fits irrigated and well-managed plots in northern belts and complements stored feed.
Plan oats sowing with the same discipline as field crops — clean land, correct seed rate and timely irrigation. Pair seed choice with a fodder package of practices for cutting height and fertiliser.
How to choose fodder seeds with your dealer
Tell your seed dealer herd size, cutting preference and irrigation status. Ask for fodder jowar, fodder bajra, fodder maize or oats suited to your district. Check packing, germination expectations and recommended sowing rates.
Stagger sowing dates where possible so one cut finishes as another field comes into harvest. That rhythm is what keeps dairy farms productive through lean weeks.
