Get the Most from Your Silage: How Triticale Green Feed is Transforming Livestock Production in Alberta

In the challenging ag markets of Southern Alberta, beef producers are also always searching for ways to increase the quality of feed and yield from their acres. Among the most successful methods are the incorporation of Triticale Green Feed Silage Seed forage programs. With its superior biomass yield and feed value, triticale is increasingly being recognised by growers for getting more from every silage cut. “At Brummelhuis Seeds, we also offer a variety of some of the best triticale and grain seed around, including Triticale Green Feed Silage Seed and Wheatland Wheat Seed, so that our customers can continue to have a sustainable success story year after year.

Why the use of Triticale for Green Feed Silage?

Triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, is billed as having offspring with the best traits of each parent—yield potential, adaptability, and nutrition. It is a very vigorous, quick establishment, dense forage plant ideally suited to green feed or silage. For livestock industries in Alberta, this is resulting in greater tonnages per acre and a reliable feed source that contributes to the well-being and productivity of the herd year-round.

Southern Alberta is an ideal location for triticale. It can endure drought more than other crops, so farmers can rely on this even during less wet years. Triticale has very good silage characteristics when harvested at soft dough stage with good digestibility, energy values & good protein source, important for raising/ lactating livestock.

Pair with Wheatland Wheat Seed 

Rotating triticale with other cereals, such as Wheatland Wheat Seed, is an excellent way for additional land stewardship and crop rotation. Wheatland is a high-tillering, high-yield hard red spring wheat that also has strong straw and good disease resistance–great for grain markets and part of a smart crop rotation.

Alternating between triticale and Wheatland Wheat Seed helps reduce disease cycles, promotes soil health, and ensures long-term productivity. Not only does it increase forage and grain production, but it also makes better economic use of soils by diversifying risk and increasing land-use efficiency.
