Exceed BMR Hybrid Pearl Millet

Better Feed Starts with Better Forage

Exceed BMR was developed for producers who demand more from their summer forage acres.

The BMR trait reduces lignin levels within the plant, allowing livestock to better digest forage and improve feed utilization. This often translates into improved gains and greater animal performance compared to conventional pearl millet varieties.

Benefits Include

• Improved digestibility
• Better feed intake
• Increased forage utilization
• Excellent forage quality
• Enhanced livestock performance

Higher Digestibility Means Better Performance

The Brown Mid Rib trait is one of the biggest advantages of Exceed BMR Pearl Millet.

Research and product evaluations consistently show BMR forage crops provide improved digestibility due to lower lignin levels. Exceed BMR specifically utilizes this technology to improve feed quality and animal performance.

Advantages of BMR Technology

• Reduced lignin content
• Improved digestibility
• Greater palatability
• Better animal gains
• Higher forage quality

Built for Intensive Grazing Systems

Exceed BMR Pearl Millet excels under grazing management.

Its dwarfing gene increases the leaf-to-stem ratio while improving standability and tolerance to grazing pressure. Rapid regrowth allows producers to maximize grazing opportunities throughout the summer.

Ideal For

• Cow-Calf Operations
• Stocker Cattle
• Backgrounding Programs
• Dairy Producers
• Sheep & Goat Operations

Exceed can typically be grazed once plants reach 24–30 inches in height and managed for multiple grazing cycles.
