4AGEPROD
The project 4AGEPROD is funded by EAFRD and Regional Councils (Brittany).
More EAFRD news on the website of the european commission.
Context & objectives
The objectives of the project 4AGEPROD are to experiment under diffrent climatic conditions in the west of France several technical ways to produce alfalfa hay and silage, and the associations of cereals-leguminous and grass-leguminous. The most interesting on the hightest protein level point of view will be evaluated on the cattle.
Under the content of this project the partners will try to find tools to enable them to conserve the productivity and duration of pasturages.

Summary
To secure the hay and silage production with high level contents of protein and productivity of pasturages, the partners of 4AGEPROD project decided :
• To work together with the same protocole ;
• To evaluate the interest of early harvest for feed quality (protein rate and assimilation) ;
• To be able to harvest Alfa Alfa in the first year of sowing and turning it in to silage to reduce the loss ;
• To find the solutions to optimize the duration of pastures ;
• Sharing knowledge to increase protein self sufficienty.
