Climate Smart Clean mixtures use Aber HSG varieties to mitigate air pollution from ammonia and nitrous oxide while powering milk and meat production with efficient forage protein conversion.

Gaining environmental benefits through pasture feeding is a sustainable grassland management approach and can be used as a carbon reduction strategy.

Mixture benefits

• Cutting, grazing, or dual-purpose
• Contains high-performance Aber HSG varieties
• Stock digest protein more efficiently
• High digestibility drives dry matter intake
• Reduced carbon footprint when used at scale
• Lowers ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions
• Clover inclusion reduces the need for artificial nitrogen

Climate Smart CAPTURE

The Climate Smart Capture range has been developed to offer a powerful combination of nitrogen fixing clovers and high-energy Aber High Sugar Grasses (Aber HSG).

These forage mixtures are a sustainable choice if considering the environmental impact of inorganic fertiliser, need to improve soil fertility or boost wildlife. Red clover options provide improved quality of silage.

Mixture benefits

• Cutting, grazing, or dual-purpose
• Protein provider
• Increased palatability
• Higher energy – Aber HSG
• Clover fixes atmospheric nitrogen
• Reduces input costs with less N needed
• Less environmental impact by cutting applied N

Climate Smart THRIVE

The Climate Smart Thrive range supports soil health in multiple ways. These carefully selected multi-species mixtures enhance organic matter, biodiversity and soil structure.

Containing clover for reduced nitrogen inputs, Climate Smart Thrive offers all-round improvement with excellent palatability, nutrition support, and production benefits.

Mixture benefits

• Cutting or grazing
• Excellent production – contains Aber HSG
• Diverse nutritional forage – protein plus minerals
• Lower cost system – reduced reliance on artificial N
• Locks in carbon and increases organic matter
• Diverse root systems improve soil structure
• Poaching resistance and drought tolerance

Climate Smart ADAPT

Germinal Climate Smart Adapt mixtures have been specially developed to help maintain production and reduce risk in the face of extreme weather events.

Adapt mixtures contain deep-rooted varieties with a stronger adaptive capacity to withstand drought conditions. The addition of clover brings reduced fertiliser requirements and nature recovery advantages by attracting pollinators.

Mixture benefits

• Cutting, grazing, or dual-purpose
• Specialist formulation
• Contains Aber HSG varieties
• Red clover protein source
• Deeper rooting system
• Increased resilience to drought
• Helps on farms with dry land
• Adaptability to weather extremes

Climate Smart RESTORE
