Barsica Rapeseed by Barenbrug

Barsica rapeseed (Brassica napus) is a cool-season broadleaf forage crop, prized for its rapid growth and flexibility across grazing schedules. Whether sown in early spring or late summer, it matures fast and supports single or multiple grazings, delivering top-tier nutrition for livestock throughout summer, autumn, or winter. It’s also excellent for building healthy soil. Delivers Dense Nutrition: Higher in protein and dry matter than turnips, Barsica rapeseed helps boost livestock energy intake. Its leafy, palatable growth works well for direct grazing — whether sown as a pure stand or part of a forage mix. Improves Grazing Efficiency: With fast regrowth and good resilience, Barsica suits rotational grazing and may allow multiple grazings per season. Supports Soil Health: While feeding your herd, Barsica also supports your soil. Its deep taproot helps lift nutrients and break shallow compaction, improving tilth and promoting better water infiltration for any subsequent crops.
