Sheep fodder
Hay to meet the food needs of your sheep farms
Hay has an important place in the sheep feeding system. In winter their ration should be 1.5 kg to 2 kg of hay per day per sheep. But if from spring to autumn, the sheep herds will be satisfied by grazing natural meadows for food, if there is a shortage of grass at the beginning and end of the season, it will be necessary to supplement their ration with green fodder (3rd cut of Crau hay, alfalfa).
Depending on whether it is a meat or milk sheep farm, the season or the region of breeding, the ration will not be the same. Make sure that the forage ration meets the quantity and quality of your sheep and ewe farm needs.

For example, for lactating ewes, a ration consisting of high quality forage will have a direct impact on its milk production and allow the lambs to get off to a good start. Ewes with a well-balanced forage ration will be more fertile, easier to milk, and wean more lambs, which will therefore grow faster. A feed ration of quality fodder avoids nutritional stress, ensures better health for the sheep and protects against infections and diseases.
