    Seed rate

    Aim for a plant population of about 102,000 ha (41,000 acre). With a 10% establishment loss this requires a seed rate of about 113,000 ha (46,000 acre). If you have a poor seed bed or are drilling early push the seed rate up.

    ES Capris is certainly a variety that needs considering - if you need more information please phone the office on 01948 661602 or your usual agent.

    Disclaimer

    Feeding rates are estimates, and other factors, such as animal health and environment, can have a greater impact on how animals perform. There is no guarantee that animals will perform as expected if fed the suggested rates. Rations should be balanced to provide enough energy and protein for animals, and they should include enough forage to keep the rumen healthy. Animals also need access to fresh water at all times.
