FORAGE TECHNOLOGY'S HISTORY
Forage Technology was founded in 1989 by Colin Orr as a side project to current executive roles in the dairy and feed industries.
Forage Technology immediately embarked on an intense research programme of research culminating in the development of a range of enzyme and microbial forage additives. And since then have worked closely with Novonesis (formerly Chr. Hansen) to stay at the forefront of silage technology.
