Proven globally

AberHSG is widely sown in the UK, Western Europe, the USA and New Zealand.

In 2009 its developers at Aberystwyth University and IGER received The Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education.

Jon Bansen  Oregon, USA "We have been planting the HSGs for several years on our dairy. It has proven to be very persistent, productive and a cow favourite. It has even produced well during the hot months. Our latest planting in a field that is usually a four feeding field has been extended to a five feeding field. When the cows go into that field, they have gone up in milk every time this grazing season. Not only are we getting an extra 12 hours graze from the field but much more milk per acre when we graze the field."

Adrian Joynt  Walford and North Shropshire College, England "The pasture consistently raising the milk level in the bulk tank was a mix of AberHSG and a compatible white clover. Production increased by 1.5 litres per cow per day when the college farm's 200-cow Friesian herd grazed AberHSG pasture."

DR DOO-HONG MIN  Ph.D. Agronomy, Forage Specialist, Upper Peninsular Experiment Station, Michigan State University, USA "I rated the high sugar ryegrass stands today and looks pretty good. I was surprised to see these high sugar perennial ryegrasses had survived the third winter here in the Upper Peninsular. Amazing!"
