Kasni fodder seeds are from a special variety of Cichorium intybus (chicory) selected for forage use, not medicinal or culinary. When grown as fodder, Kasni provides a nutritious, high-protein green feed—especially useful for dairy cattle, goats, and sheep.
Key Benefits: High protein: ~18–22% (comparable to Lucerne). Rich in minerals, especially calcium and magnesium. Promotes better milk yield and animal digestion. Natural anthelmintic (helps reduce internal parasites in livestock). Can be grazed or harvested for green fodder.
