Jameson Premium Seed 2025 5 BENEFITS OF RESEEDING Higher intake • High yielding • Longer grazing season • Increased protein How much more grass does a reseed produce? One of the best ways to reduce costs is to produce more forage on the farm rather than buying feed in. However relying on old varieties, farms are missing out on millions of pounds worth of investment made by plant breeders, to produce new grasses that are far superior in performance and feed value. Recent research has shown that a 20 year old ley produced on average 8.5 -10 tonnes DM/ha in comparison with a newly reseeded pasture which is capable of producing 13-15 DM/ha.* REMEMBER! - A one point increase in D-value equates to 0.26 litres of milk per dairy cow per day, 40g/day extra beef liveweight gain and 20g/day of extra lamb liveweight gain. (NIAB TAG) • Higher DM and ME improves palatability, encouraging higher intake, increasing milk and meat production • Opportunity to introduce clover, reducing nitrogen costs and increase protein content • Faster regrowth with more grass in the shoulder periods of the season • Excellent grass genetics producing higher productivity and durability • Improves yield and quality, reducing bought-in feed requirements • Improvement in soil structure leads to less leaching of nutrients • Early turnout, up to 3 weeks, saving on concentrate feed • Increase pasture response to nitrogen fertiliser • Opportunity to reduce weed burden • Improved silage and grazing quality *Figures from (2013) The benefits of sward renewal.
