Environmentally friendly - less emissions
Agriculture has entered a new era in which
efficient, home-grown forage production must go hand-in-hand with
environmental considerations.
AberHSGs are digested more completely and
therefore reduce nitrogen wastage.

In three zero-grazing trials involving early, mid and late
lactation animals, IGER found the amount of feed nitrogen lost in
the urine was reduced by up to 24% from animals fed the HSG
variety.
Other research has indicated a similar effect, as in a
three-year AgResearch trial in New Zealand where cows on a diet of
AberDart had almost half the rumen ammonia measured in cows fed two
other modern ryegrasses.
