Emerald Forage Rape

Forage Rape

Utilisation

10 – 12 Weeks after sowing
Emerald Forage Rape is Good for finishing Lambs
If left too long it can become bitter and unpalatable.
Very aggressive growth rates, quick to establish.

Livestock intake

You must introduce feeding to any Brasica slowly over two weeks. It’s best to have a grass or stubble run back. Start feeding two weeks before the Emerald Forage Rape crop is fully mature so livestock are accustomed to forage rape when the crop is at full potential.

Increase palatability by mixing stubble turnips and forage rape together. The two mixed together will increase yields and protein content rather than having straight Stubble turnips on there own.
