Catch Crop Mixtures
CATCH CROPS
Catch crop mixtures are perfect for providing a cost-effective and balanced feed for livestock. In terms of resource, mixtures like the below, are fairly low input – with minimal growing costs. However, they can produce a vital feed when forage is in short supply. Whether your focus is energy content, protein or rapid establishment, the Wynnstay range of Catch Crop mixtures includes top quality varieties, guaranteed to perform in terms of both yield and quality.
Catch Crops can also benefit soil health by utilising the available nutrients in the soil after the previous crop and then depositing them back onto the soil as manure increasing organic matter and improving the soil structure.
WYNNSTAY ENERGY BOOSTER
This high yielding catch crop is fast to establish and extremely palatable with a slightly higher energy content than the other catch crop mixtures. It will produce huge yields and the kale will help with its winter hardiness.
MIXTURE
1.3kg Vollenda Stubble Turnips 0.5kg Interval Forage Rape 0.2kg Maris Kestrel Kale
2kg/Acre (Packed in 5kg bags)
WYNNSTAY PROTEIN BOOSTER
This mix has a higher protein content than normal due to the high inclusion of forage rape and kale. Its winter hardiness is excellent due to the inclusion of kale and maincrop turnips which will extend the grazing period.
WYNNSTAY FORAGE PROVIDER
The Italian ryegrass will improve the thickness of the crop whilst helping to keep the animals clean and will also provide grazing through to the following spring. The inclusion of both Vollenda and Interval will make this mix more palatable and will add protein and energy to the diet.
