This mixture is an adaptation of work done in New Zealand to exploit the lamb finishing attributes of deep rooting Forage Chicory and Plantain, combined with the well understood complementary properties of White Clover.
The inclusion of Matrix Enhanced® Ryegrass, combined with Timothy and Early Perennial Ryegrass, all ensure that the sward gets a sprint start in the spring, making it ideal for early lambing.
Lambtastic remains very productive throughout the summer and well into the autumn, and it can be utilised by all classes of livestock.
Treated with HEADSTART® GOLD for improved establishment.
Benefits of multi-species mixtures include:
• Improved growth rates in lambs
• Lower growing costs and fertiliser requirements (that easily offsets any increased cost in the mixture)
• Provide ‘shoulders’ on the grazing season and a longer growing season
• Drought-resistant
• Good soil-improvers, with deep-rooted species and nitrogen fixing legumes. Adds significantly more organic matter to the soils when ploughed in than grass leys
