Herbivore is a high quality leafy forage chicory with erect growth for improved feed utilisation. Herbivore has very fast establishment and regrowth vigour, meaning early and faster grazing rotations may be achieved. Herbivore excels in a range of soil fertilities and can tolerate moisture stress for long durations with help from its deep fibrous tap root. It also draws high levels of nutrients and trace minerals from deep within the soil reservoirs and distributes these to the leaf to give a very high quality Dry Matter (DM) / Digestibility percentage as well as high metabolisable energy (ME) and crude protein levels.

Primary Benefits:

• High yielding, erect perennial forage chicory

• Leading early season DM production
• Outstanding summer productivity and quality
• Deep-rooted species enhancing mineral uptake
• High digestibility with excellent ME and protein

Perenniality: Short-lived perennial (1–3 years)
