Hybrid sudangrass with Hi-Gest Technology has reduced lignin which improves animal intake and fiber digestibility for enhanced meat and milk production.

A Milk Output Study was conducted at a major Western U.S. University during 2006 to measure animal dry matter intake and milk production in late lactation cows

The TMR ration had a Hi-Gest Hybrid and the check variety Piper replace one-half of the alfalfa in the ration. The ration was then subdivided with rations that had 100% Hi-Gest, 2/3 Hi-Gest, 1/3 Hi-Gest and 0% Hi-Gest with the balance from Piper

The 100% Hi-Gest ration had a 5.3% advantage over the 100% Piper ration
