Summer is a time of abundant sunshine, warm weather, and bountiful harvests. As the season approaches, animal owners need to consider the type of fodder they'll feed their animals during this time. The hot and humid weather can impact an animal's health and performance, which makes choosing the right feed and proper management of utmost importance.

   There are many different types of animal fodders suitable for summer. Fresh grass and fodders are the most popular and widely available feed for grazing and farm animals such as cows, horses, and sheep. However, it's important to ensure that the grass is free from harmful toxins and not too high in nitrates, as this can cause health issues.

 

  You must know that winter fodders are high in protein, and summer fodders are high in energy and low in protein. Those who are making alfalfa hay now, will significantly save money by mixing it in low protein summer fodders. In contrast to the winter, summer is a better time to grow fodder varieties. 

  If the maize crop in your region produces good yields and silage-making equipment is also nearby, focus solely on producing corn silage and continue to supplement it with seasonal fresh fodder as necessary.
