In the middle of the ALFALFA COLLECTION CAMPAIGN

Alfalfa is one of the most important crops due to its versatility, high palatability, good winter hardiness and drought tolerance, forage yield, as well as high protein and nutrient value, especially for farms where various types of livestock are reared.

Currently, alfalfa is considered one of the forage crops par excellence in the United States, so its production, far from diminishing, promises to continue growing and expanding, not only in states north and west of the country, where there are the highest levels of growth and harvest, but also in southern regions where significant efforts have been made to promote new strategies to improve their management, increase their permanence for a longer period and decrease from considerably the possibilities of forage losses in the cultivation of alfalfa.

As a large percentage of the alfalfa crop is used to feed livestock and other farm animals, it is crucial to have a good storage process for the alfalfa in order to guarantee that the forage maintain quality levels for longer and the continuity in the expansion of livestock production can be ensured.

Once the crop has been harvested, the regulatory steps must be followed to handle the forage correctly during transportation, filling and subsequent storage, otherwise the risk runs risk of suffering losses not only of material but of quality.
