Rows of thriving crops stretch across a sunlit rural farm landscape.
Australian Red Napier is an improved type of Napier grass selected and developed for desirable fodder characteristics such as vigorous growth, strong regrowth and good biomass production. It belongs to the Napier grass family and has gained interest among livestock farmers seeking a dependable source of green feed.
High Biomass Production
Australian Red Napier can produce substantial amounts of green fodder when grown under suitable conditions. Good soil fertility, adequate moisture and proper management can help farmers achieve better production.
Good Nutritional Value
The grass regrows after harvesting, allowing farmers to obtain repeated cuts from an established crop. This makes it useful for maintaining a regular supply of fresh fodder.
When harvested at the appropriate growth stage, Australian Red Napier provides useful fibre and protein for livestock. It can form part of a balanced feeding programme for dairy cattle and other livestock.
Strong Regrowth
One of the crop’s notable characteristics is its vigorous regrowth after cutting. With adequate nutrients and moisture, new shoots develop and provide another harvest.
Suitable for Cut-and-Carry
Australian Red Napier is well suited to zero-grazing and cut-and-carry systems. Farmers can harvest the grass and take it directly
