SugarMax All Purpose

In this medium to long term dual purpose mixture, increased sugar levels lead to greater palatability and faster, more efficient conversion of digested food into either milk or meat. Higher sugar levels also allow for increased fermentation in silage, enhancing
the quality of the conserved material.

SUGARMAX is a true medium to long term dual purpose mixture designed to provide greater intake levels, and therefore higher animal productivity, at no extra cost.

• Very high yield of sugar from Calibra, Foxtrot and Millennium
• Calibra offers high D.M. yield in spring and summer with high sward density
• Foxtrot exhibits excellent performance in summer grazing period
• Millennium gives good D.M. yields throughout the summer and autumn
• High leaf content and reduced stem formation
• White Clover adds palatability, protein and mineral rich forage

TetraMax Tetra Ley

Available with

A medium term all Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass mixture. This blend of intermediate and late Ryegrass is designed for conservation but is also capable of providing forage of the highest quality for grazing. All the varieties selected exhibit good winter hardiness, disease resistance and persistence to ensure longevity and consistency from the sward. The higher sugar content of Tetraploid varieties ensures excellent fermentation when making silage, and when grazed improves animal intake. Resistance to Crown Rust has been a major consideration in the composition of this mxture.     

• Excellent yields at 67D 
• Extremely good winter hardiness and persistence 
• Excellent resistance to disease and in particular Crown Rust 
• Very high annual yields under both management situations 
• 100% Tetraploid content for increased sugar availability and palatability 
• Produces an erect canopy ideal when cutting for conservation and will reduce the risk of soil contamination 
• Will produce re-growth at 67D within 6 weeks 
• Produces a late hay cut ideal for horses as the hay produced will be hard and stemmy

This long term mixture has been formulated to support the diverse demands horses place on a sward. A horse paddock has to not only provide a source of food but also an exercise area, placing great stress on the sward. Couple this with the need to produce some winter forage and it is obvious why some horse paddocks look completely bare by the end of the summer season.

• Provides good quality, palatable yet low sugar sward
• Produces a dense, hardwearing sward
• Fescue reduces sward damage from treading
• Herbs can be supplied as a separate item

• Will provide excellent yields of either hay or haylage
• Fox is a new variety with very good early spring growth
• Mixture can be cut late May/early June, multi-cut options per annum

HayMax Full Term

A mixture of 5 years duration provides excellent yields and can be used for both hay and haylage. We do not recommend mixing Diploid and Tetraploid varieties as this can lead to uneven conditioning of the sward, therefore we only use Diploid varieties. 

• Excellent resistance to foliar diseases
• Outstanding yields for both hay and haylage with late season grazing
• Timothy improves summer palatability and colour of the mown sward

MeadowMax

An old fashioned style mixture based around the use of non aggressive grass species like Meadow Fescue, Timothy and Meadow Grasses. These species formed the basis of very early re-seeding mixtures of pasture land in the early 1900’s, long before intensive farming was the norm. With the advent of farming policy reviews over the last few years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the more extensive ways of producing meat. The following mixture was designed to fill the gap between the more progressive dairy farmer and the land manager who is looking towards lower input and a more environmental approach to farming. The following mixture will make very good hay useful for a winter feed for many types of animal.

• Can be grazed, made into hay or haylage
• Will tolerate very wet conditions and with the addition of Tall Fescue and Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass, will withstand the worst affects of summer heat and drought
• Wild flowers may be added to the above provided they are not toxic to grazing animals

DroughtMax Cutting

This mixture is based on new development work carried out by DLF Trifolium on the use of Festulolium cultivars. This work has revealed that in conservation situations Festuloliums, Hybrid Ryegrass and Red Clover are ideal companions, which will produce forage high in protein and energy.

• Hykor is a Tall Fescue/Italian Ryegrass cross with high D values, crude protein and energy levels
• The Hybrid Ryegrass cultivars are chosen for yield and conservation quality
• Perun is a Meadow Fescue/Italian Ryegrass cross high in sugar and protein
• Amos Red Clover is high yielding, low in oestrogen and high in protein
