Sorghum – the crop of the future

Building on the resilience and versatility of sorghum, sudangrass and forage sorghum hybrids are attracting growing attention as high-performing forage crops. With their ability to adapt to drought conditions and deliver multiple cuts (multicut), they are becoming essential components of sustainable livestock feeding systems.

Known for their high yields and excellent regrowth capacity, these crops offer farmers a reliable option even under challenging climates. Their unique balance of fiber (NDF) and digestibility makes them particularly valuable in ruminant nutrition, providing both structural fiber for rumen health and sufficient energy for efficient animal performance.

At Alfaseed, our breeding work on multicut forage sorghums focuses on:

• Maximizing biomass yield across several cuts
• Optimizing fiber quality and protein balance
• Enhancing drought adaptability for consistent performance
• Delivering sustainable alternatives to traditional forages

Through innovation, we aim to provide solutions that support efficient livestock production, reduce environmental pressures, and ensure stability in forage supply.

At our upcoming conference, experts will highlight the latest research on forage sorghums — from digestible fiber content optimization to practical insights on high-yielding, drought-resilient sudangrass hybrids.

Join us to learn how these crops, combining tradition with modern breeding, are shaping the future of forage production, animal nutrition, and sustainable agriculture.
