AberXtend HSG Extended Grazing

AberXtend HSG is the Aber HSG mixture for livestock farmers aiming to increase yields and lengthen the grazing season.

The Recommended Lists in both the UK and Ireland show how varieties such as AberDart HSG and AberGain HSG top the lists for spring and autumn performance, but there is absolutely no compromise on the other main performance criteria, with top scores for grazing D-value, ME yield, and overall dry matter yields. With the appropriate management, AberXtend HSG can perform to a high standard for 5–7 years.

Key benefits in summary

• Outstanding for early grazing yield and autumn production
• The best Aber HSG perennial grasses selected for spring and autumn yield
• Outstanding season-long yield and quality
• High palatability and dry matter intakes
• Reduced nitrogen losses to the environment

Heading date average for AberXtend HSG is 28 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.
