The difficult winters and droughts of the last few years have put a strain on hay production. As a result, inventories are so low on Québec farms that some are talking about a shortage.

Fortunately, some by-products and feeds, including Synchro F-Plus and Totalveau, can be used to substitute part of the forage in your rations.
