Abstract

Part of a series on the topic of monogastric feeding, this technical note looks at the role that forage can play in providing feedstuff for poultry. It provides options of different grasses and advice on how to grow them. \nAlthough aimed at organic farmers, it would benefit all poultry keepers who have free-range birds or who need to house birds during parts of the year.
