Aber HSG 4 Dairy System

Aber HSG 4 Dairy System is a mixture for milk producers who are aiming for one or two high-quality silage cuts followed by the best possible rotational grazing.

First cut will be mid-to-late May, with the option of a second cut approximately 4–5 weeks later, or alternatively commence rotational grazing. The Aber HSG varieties selected for this mixture significantly out-perform other grasses for grazing quality and grazing yields. This year Aber HSG 4 is further improved by the introduction of AberWolf HSG, the stand-out grass on the latest UK Recommended Lists.

Key benefits in summary

• Long-lasting ley with outstanding quality
• Top yields of high ME silage at first cut
• For cutting and rotational grazing
• 100% Aber HSG perennial ryegrasses
• A balance of diploid and tetraploid varieties
• High palatability and dry matter intakes
• Extended spring and autumn grazing

Heading date average for Aber HSG 4 is 3 June 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.
