Barenbrug STF-43 Soft-Leaf Tall Fescue Blend

Description

• Soft-leaf, late maturing
• Yields equal to or greater than alfalfa
• High amounts of digestible fiber
• High palatability
• Excellent persistence

STF-43 is an innovative blend of late-maturing, soft-leaved tall fescues. STF-43 produces impressive dry matter yields with exceptional levels of digestible fiber. STF-43 is the result of Barenbrug’s forage analyses program which measured NDF (neutral detergent fiber) and NDFd (NDF digestibility).

With the laboratory analyses, Barenbrug identified significant differences in amount of fiber (NDF) and its digestibility (NDFd) between improved varieties. STF-43 is formulated with varieties to provide exceptional levels of digestible fiber per pound of dry matter fed.

Fed to high-producing animals such as lactating dairy cows, STF-43 provides energy derived from digestible fiber as well as the valuble effects of fiber which together promote rumen health and productivity, and, in turn animal health and productivity. STF-43 is well-suited for hay and haylage/baleage production. It is an excellent selection for a mixed or interplanting with a legume. STF-43 is late maturing and endophyte-free.
