25% increase in drymatter intake

Drymatter intake of cattle fed Aber High Sugar Grass can increase by 25%*

AberHSGs offer a higher ratio of soluble carbohydrate to grass protein, therefore they are easy to digest because there's an improved balance of energy to protein in the rumen.

AberHSGs are more palatable and digestible.

"In it's first summer we put our dry cows into AberDart and they ate it down to nothing and it fizzled out, like everything else. But as soon as that first snap of rain came in February she just freshened up like a fresh cut lawn. In spring we had taken a second silage cut because it had got too far ahead of the cows.
I am pretty much sold on high sugar grass. Their first milking off AberDart we saw a good increase. If it wasn't performing I would say so . but my cows are doing the talking for me."

Victor Rodwell Boyanup, WA

"The cows certainly eat the AberDart down harder and easier. You don't have to push them.
It has extremely dense tillering and dense drymatter content but the cows eat it down to low residuals far easier (to 700-to-850 kgDM/ha) than other grasses.
I estimate there's 20-to-25% more feed in an AberDart break. More feed means more milk."

Drymatter intake of cattle fed Aber High Sugar Grass can increase 25%* because AberHSGs are more palatable and digestible and have less fibre.
The diploid perennial cultivars have more dense drymatter than tetraploid (short term) ryegrass cultivars and this density, combined with ease of digestibility, increases the nutritional value of each mouthful of AberHSG pasture. [*Source: IGER]
