BEARLESS BROME 2

Bearless brome (Bromus inermis) – a perennial grass widely used for hay and green mass production. The plant reaches a height of 60 to 150 cm, has thin flat leaves and dense, long stems that can penetrate the soil to a depth of more than two meters. Such a developed root system ensures high drought resistance and flood tolerance, and allows the plant to survive at low temperatures – seedlings appear already at 4–5 °C.

Bearless brome is distinguished by its high nutritional value. In 100 kg of green mass, it contains up to 60 feed units and about 6 kg of digestible protein, and in 100 kg of hay – 47–52 feed units and 3–5.5 kg of protein. Thanks to these indicators, the plant is a valuable feed for cattle, sheep, and goats.

The crop is easily cultivated on pastures: it can be mowed several times during the season, and with proper care it can yield two full harvests. On one spot, the plant can grow for more than 10 years, and maximum yield is achieved in 2–3 years after sowing. Bearless brome is resistant to trampling and withstands up to five grazing cycles on pastures, making it one of the most reliable options for long-term animal feeding.
