High-Protein Forage Security

The 'Lugovik' clover, developed by the Williams FRC for Fodder Crops, is designed for livestock producers who prioritize feed quality over raw biomass volume. While some varieties focus solely on weight, Lugovik provides a consistent yield of 4–5 tons of hay per hectare while maintaining an exceptional protein profile, making it a premium choice for high-yield dairy and meat production.

Key Characteristics and Resilience

With a plant height of 20–40 cm, Lugovik is highly efficient in its nutrient allocation. Its fibrous root system is its greatest asset, creating a dense, protective sod layer that effectively crowds out weeds and protects the soil structure.

• Nutritional Value: The standout feature is its high protein content. This directly impacts the nutritional balance of the livestock ration, allowing farmers to reduce reliance on expensive concentrates.
• Disease Resistance: The variety exhibits strong genetic resistance to fungal diseases. This is a critical factor for regions prone to high humidity, where standard clover varieties often suffer from leaf spot or rust, leading to yield losses.

Why Choose Lugovik?

Lugovik is the logical choice for farm managers who require a balanced, reliable, and low-maintenance forage crop. Because it is inherently resistant to common pathogens, it requires fewer chemical interventions, making it an excellent fit for sustainable or low-input farming systems. Whether utilized for hay or fresh green mass, this clover is engineered to minimize risk while maximizing the nutrient content of every hectare harvested.

If your operational goal is to boost livestock performance through better forage, Lugovik offers the reliability and the biological efficiency needed to improve your bottom line.
