Rich in cellulose and hemicellulose, it is perfectly adapted to the digestive system of ruminants. During the seedling stage to the grain filling stage, the cellulose content is low and it is easy to digest; while at the mature stage, the proportion of cellulose increases, although the palatability slightly decreases, it is still an excellent roughage.

Diverse vitamins

It contains certain amounts of vitamin A, vitamin E and B vitamins, which have positive effects on enhancing the immunity of ruminants, promoting growth and development, resisting stress, and improving reproductive performance.

It is rich in mineral elements.
