What Is Makkhan Grass?

Makkhan Grass is an annual ryegrass grown during the cool season. Its botanical name is Lolium multiflorum, and it is also internationally known as Italian ryegrass.

It produces soft, succulent and palatable green fodder suitable for:

  • Dairy cows

  • Buffaloes

  • Sheep

  • Goats

  • Other grazing livestock

The grass can be offered fresh or preserved as hay and silage.

High-Protein Livestock Fodder

Makkhan Grass contains approximately 14–18% crude protein under suitable growing and harvesting conditions. Its dry-matter digestibility is reported to be approximately 65%.

Because the grass is soft and palatable, livestock can consume it easily. When included as part of a properly balanced diet, its nutritional quality may support animal health, milk production and milk-solid content.

Actual nutritional values can vary according to the soil, climate, fertilisation, irrigation and stage of harvesting.

Multi-Cut Grass with Good Regrowth

Makkhan is a multi-cut ryegrass that can regrow after harvesting. This allows farmers to obtain several harvests from one sowing when the crop receives suitable irrigation and nutrition.

The first harvest is generally taken when the plants reach approximately 50–60 cm in height or around 50–60 days after sowing. Later harvests may be taken at intervals of approximately 25–30 days, depending on plant growth and local conditions.

Suitable Season for Sowing

Makkhan Grass is a cool-season fodder crop. 

In many regions, the usual sowing period is from September to December. Farmers should adjust the sowing date according to their local temperature, rainfall and irrigation facilities.

General Sowing Information

  • Pure cultivation: Approximately 5–6 kg of seeds per acre

  • Mixed with berseem: Approximately 2–3 kg per acre

  • Soil: Fertile and well-drained agricultural soil

  • Irrigation: Irrigate immediately after sowing and maintain moisture during germination

  • Harvesting: Cut while the grass is young, leafy and succulent

The exact seed rate and cultivation method should be adjusted according to local agricultural recommendations.
