Ordinary fodder fills the rumen; it does not fill the milk can. Kohenoor Protein Grass is formulated so the field itself carries the protein, energy and minerals that farmers otherwise buy as concentrate. Dairy, feedlot and cooperative buyers choose it because:
Protein Grass is a cool-season forage: it is sown when daytime temperatures are 28°C or below and grows fastest between roughly 10°C and 25°C. In Pakistan that means September to March, where it is sold to thousands of dairy farmers every season under the “More Milk, More Meat” promise. In the East African highlands — Kenya’s Rift Valley and Central Province, Ethiopia’s Oromia and Amhara plateaus — those temperatures occur most of the year above 1,500 m, so the blend can be sown in almost any month with rain or irrigation. In South Africa it fits the autumn-sown winter pasture slot. In the Gulf and North Africa it is the winter fodder between summer Rhodes grass or sorghum crops.
Kohenoor International supplies Protein Grass in 5 kg (half acre), 10 kg (one acre) and 25 kg bags, with country-specific documentation for KEPHIS (Kenya), the Ethiopian Agricultural Authority, DALRRD (South Africa), MEWA (Saudi Arabia), MOCCAE (UAE) and other plant-quarantine services. Trial orders from 500 kg let cooperatives, NGOs and commercial farms evaluate the blend on 50 acres before scaling. See the country guides below for local sowing calendars, regulators and ports.
Green chop or hay that raises milk yield and solids while cutting concentrate cost.
High-protein fodder for stall-fed cows on half an acre or less.
Finishing rations built on green fodder instead of purchased concentrate.
Processors and cooperatives distributing seed to members to lift milk intake.
Fodder entrepreneurs baling high-protein hay or making silage for sale.
Development programmes needing certified, high-germination forage seed with full analysis.

Forage seed is regulated as plant reproductive material everywhere. Every Kohenoor consignment of Protein Grass includes:
Protein Grass is the result of decades of forage research by Noorani Seeds, the seed-research arm of the Kohenoor group, and it is sold to thousands of Pakistani dairy farmers every season before it is exported. The formulation is our trade secret; the milk and meat results are yours to measure.
It is a proprietary high-protein forage blend formulated so the whole field delivers 26-38% crude protein, 26% or less crude fibre, about 10% minerals and about 45% dry matter — a complete ration in one cut. The result farmers measure is 2-5 kg more milk per cow per day and 700-800 g daily gain in fattening animals, with about half the concentrate. The formulation is proprietary; the performance specification is stated on every Certificate of Analysis.
10 kg per acre (about 25 kg per hectare) on good soils; 12-15 kg per acre on light or sandy soils. A 10 kg bag sows one acre and a 5 kg bag sows half an acre.
When daytime temperatures are 28°C or below and not below about 16°C at establishment: September to December in warm lowlands, until March in cooler zones, and year-round in cool highlands above 1,500 m such as central Kenya and the Ethiopian plateau. Early sowing gives the most cuts.
First cut 45 days after sowing, then every 20-25 days, for 5-10 cuts depending on sowing date and climate. Well-managed stands give about 10-12 tonnes of fresh fodder per acre per cut. Cut 10 cm above the ground so the stand regrows quickly.
MOQ is 500 kg (enough for 50 acres), in 5 kg, 10 kg or 25 kg bags. We ship FOB Karachi, CFR or CIF to Mombasa, Djibouti, Durban, Jebel Ali and other ports, with phytosanitary certificate and Certificate of Analysis. Samples are available before bulk orders.
