Alfalfa Milky Max

French Genetic Excellence for High-Yield Dairy Farming

Alfalfa «Milky Max» by Maisadour Semences is engineered for operations prioritizing intensive dairy production. By focusing on genetic traits that maximize protein conversion, this variety serves as a cornerstone for high-performance feeding programs. Unlike many standard varieties, it exhibits superior regrowth energy, allowing for frequent cutting cycles while maintaining a robust stand density.

Key Technical Specifications

• Plant Morphology: Reaching a height of 80–100 cm, the crop produces a dense canopy that facilitates efficient harvesting and minimizes losses.
• Growth Dynamics: Perfectly adapted to early-bud stage harvesting, which is critical for achieving maximum crude protein content and digestibility.
• Resilience: A strong root system provides excellent drought tolerance, while the architectural integrity of the plant ensures resistance to lodging, simplifying the mechanization of the harvest process.

Competitive Advantage

The primary advantage of «Milky Max» lies in its harvest window flexibility. While many varieties rapidly lose nutritional quality once they reach the peak of the budding stage, «Milky Max» retains a superior balance between fiber and protein for longer. This provides agronomists with a strategic advantage when facing unpredictable weather or logistics constraints, ensuring the silage quality remains consistently high.

Who Should Choose Milky Max?

This variety is designed for professional dairy farms aiming to reduce reliance on expensive soybean or rapeseed meal by increasing the share of home-grown, high-quality protein. While it performs best under well-managed agronomic conditions and appropriate fertilization, the return on investment is clear: consistent 4–5 cuts per season and improved milk yield. If your goal is to optimize feed self-sufficiency and overall farm profitability, «Milky Max» is a reliable and proven genetic choice.
