Hi-Gest 360

Hi-Gest 360

Hi-Gest 360 Alfalfa offers exceptional yield potential and advanced forage quality through Hi-Gest Alfalfa Technology. This variety delivers improved fiber digestibility, increased intake, and enhanced digestion, making it a top choice for livestock producers. Developed through traditional plant breeding, Hi-Gest 360 has consistently met grower expectations since its introduction in 2015. Its high leaf-to-stem ratio provides more crude protein at harvest, ensuring premium forage quality. Adapted to modern best management practices, Hi-Gest 360 excels in both aggressive, high-quality production systems and relaxed, high-tonnage environments. Its medium-tall plants have a dense canopy of leaves and axillary branching, contributing to excellent forage structure and nutrition. Rations using Hi-Gest 360 can be easily balanced by nutritionists.
