Fenugreek - A Valuable Addition to Feed and Crops
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an annual plant known for its versatile properties. Cultivated for centuries, both as a valuable animal feed and a valued culinary ingredient, it has earned the name "God's grass" or "Greek hay".
Fenugreek is best grown in sunny and wind-sheltered locations. Permeable, fertile and calcium-rich soils are ideal for this plant. Sowing is done in mid-April, and germination occurs after about two weeks. Fenugreek does not require intensive care - in the initial period of growth, it is worth taking care of removing weeds and loosening the soil.
Fenugreek seeds are rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium and sulfur, which makes them an ideal addition to bird feed, especially during convalescence, muscle recovery or increased exertion. Fenugreek supports digestion, improves nutrient absorption and speeds up sugar metabolism.
Effects of fenugreek:
- supports the digestive system,
- improves digestion and assimilation of nutrients,
- accelerates the metabolism of sugars,
- supports the growth and regeneration of muscle mass.
