The harvest of millet sprays has just begun for the 2025 season, and this new campaign marks an important milestone for the industry. Behind each carefully harvested spray lies demanding manual work, hundreds of hours spent in the fields, and a passion passed down through generations. At Moreau Millet, this passion guides every step, from cutting to packaging, to deliver a natural, nourishing product perfectly suited to animal feeding.
How the manual cutting of millet sprays is carried out
Harvesting millet sprays remains an activity that requires a considerable workforce. For one hectare, more than 200 hours of manual labor are needed. This method preserves the integrity of the seed heads, prevents losses, and allows only the finest sprays to be selected. Unlike mechanized harvesting, each stem is cut with care to ensure the final quality. This year’s red and yellow sprays reflect this patient work: they are full, uniform, and healthy, which is a guarantee of satisfaction for breeders and individuals who prioritize high-quality feed for their animals.
The key stages of millet processing and packaging
After cutting, the sprays follow a precise process before reaching the consumer. Each stage plays a role: sorting, drying, storage, fumigation, and packaging. This protocol ensures not only the preservation of nutritional properties but also the sanitary safety of the products. Drying, for example, naturally reduces moisture and limits the risk of mold, while fumigation protects the sprays against insects. All of these operations take place in a controlled environment to preserve the quality that has built the reputation of Moreau millet sprays.
The exceptional quality of red and yellow millet sprays in 2025
The year 2025 stands out with an especially beautiful harvest. The fields are producing sprays with intense red and yellow colors, ready to be distributed both in France and internationally. For bird and rodent breeders, as well as individuals who care about the nutrition of their pets, millet sprays are valued for their nutritional benefits, palatability, and their ability to stimulate natural foraging behavior. This year, the sprays are well filled, with a grain density that meets the expectations of the most demanding markets.
