Aber HSG 1 Milk and Meat Production

Prices include postage

Aber HSG 1 is a long-term, general purpose mixture for milk and meat production.

Ideal for grazing, the mixture also offers the potential for a heavy silage cut in late May. Ideally suited for set stocking, it can be grazed with cattle, ewes or used to finish lambs. Aber HSG 1 produces a dense sward which will resist poaching and with good management will maintain its quality for 5-7 years. Puna II perennial chicory can be included for added drought tolerance and sward variety.

Key benefits in summary

• Combines an outstanding grazing yield and grazing D-value
• 100% Aber HSG grasses
• The correct balance of diploid and tetraploid varieties
• High palatability and increased dry matter intakes
• Reduced nitrogen losses to the environment

Heading date average for Aber HSG 1 is 30 May for central Britain.
When cutting for silage, aim to cut 5-10 days before average heading date for optimum quality. Optimum spread of heading dates within mixtures for grazing and cutting results in better performance of the leys.
