Studies show energy dense feed is easier for cattle to digest and improves rumen health and weight gain
BROOKDALE, Man. — On a hot, bordering on stifling July day in western Manitoba, the Boston plantain in Juanita Kopp’s hand was obviously suffering.
The plant was wilted, droopy and resembled an unappetizing leaf of lettuce.
Kopp, a livestock production specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, showed off the plantain during a presentation at the MBFI field tour July 26.
