Choosing the right varieties of grass is crucial for producing high-quality silage. The right grass ensures optimal growth rates, higher yields, and better nutritional content, which are essential for maintaining healthy livestock.
Perennial Ryegrass, with its high sugar content, is excellent for silage-making due to its digestibility and dense sward formation.
Italian Ryegrass offers heavy silage crops and an extended growing season.
Hybrid Ryegrass combines the benefits of both, providing improved ground cover and drought resistance.

Germinal’s High Sugar Grass (HSG) varieties are climate-smart leaders with an exceptional energy-protein balance. These grass mixtures deliver highly productive swards, driving high levels of output while reducing the production and release of ammonia and nitrous oxide. By adding energy to the rumen, these grasses enable greater protein capture, enhancing both productivity and environmental sustainability.
The ABER HSG varieties offer highly efficient forage production with significant environmental benefits. For 2024, Germinal have introduced several new ABER HSG varieties, which are exclusively available in Germinal mixtures.
By selecting the appropriate grass varieties, you can maximise silage quality, boost livestock productivity, and ensure sustainable, efficient farming practices.
