Business profile
Adult cattle, sheep and goats require a balanced diet that consists of good quality pasture, supplemented by energy and protein-rich feeds such as lucerne pellets. It is important to always consider the cost of any feed supplement, as well as its nutritional value, before deciding whether or not to include it in an animal's diet. Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is a leguminous plant that grows naturally in the Mediterranean region. It is a perennial plant that can survive for up to 20 years without replanting. The plant has deep roots, which allow it to persist under dry conditions and survive periods of drought. Lucerne can also fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into usable forms using micro-organisms in its root nodules. Dengie Crops Ltd. has a long history of providing the local agricultural industry with the highest quality forage and compound feed products. We grow our lucerne as well as sourcing from other local suppliers, helping to keep our feed miles low and providing the best traceability possible. Because of this, every bale of our company's dried lucerne can be traced back to the field it was grown in. Our philosophy is to create the best and healthiest feeds we can because we believe that when you take care of your animals, they take care of you.
