Can green flax be used for livestock feed?
Flax crops delayed by weather and damaged by frost can result in incomplete seed development, and in some cases, regrowth and reflowering may have occurred on the green plant. While the green flax plant can potentially contain eght to 18 per cent crude protein and 40-65 per cent total digestible nutrient (TDN), there are several points that need to be considered, including the potential for toxicity, if producers are thinking about harvesting the flax as forage.
