Dairymaster is a premium quality mixture formulated to support the high energy and nutritional demands of lactating dairy and beef cows. Dairymaster is also well-suited to meet the feed requirements of growing cattle. Dairymaster is suitable for pastures, haylage and baleage production. In addition to its nutritional attributes, Dairymaster is formulated to perform under grazing and traffic pressure of cattle. Formulated with perennial ryegrass, recognized for exceptional palatability and nutritive value; endophyte-free, very soft-leaved tall fescue to improve yield and persistence; and meadow fescue with high digestibility. Dairymaster also contains pre-inoculated Alice white clover - a proven, winter-hardy, grazing tolerant clover that increases the protein content of forage and also provides soil nitrogen through nitrogen fixation. ► Exceptional palatability for improved intake ► High fiber digestibility and nutritive value ► High protein and energy forage ► Rapid establishment and persistent ► Grazing tolerant ► High dry matter production ADAPTATION - CLIMATE Dairymaster is adapted to regions where cool-season grasses are grown.
