Puna II Perennial Chicory Seeds

Puna II Perennial Chicory Seeds - High-Performance, Long-Term Forage

Puna II Perennial Chicory is widely regarded as the superior choice for high-quality, broad-leaved forage, offering exceptional performance as a pure stand or as a vital component in mixed swards alongside grass and clover.

Bred specifically for improved persistency, Puna II provides a reliable, highly nutritious feed source for 2 to 5 years, significantly extending the rotational grazing window and reducing reseeding costs. Its high digestibility and mineral content drive superior weight gain, making it the ideal choice for finishing stock, calves, and flushing ewes.

Key Benefits for Animal Performance and Pasture

• Anthelmintic Properties: Known to help reduce the internal parasite burden in grazing livestock, especially lambs (often referred to as 'natural de-wormer').

• High Digestibility & Growth: Excellent nutritive value and high crude protein (up to 25%) support outstanding animal performance (lamb growth rates up to 400g/day).

• Summer Resilience: Offers high-quality feed with rapid regrowth throughout the warmer months, providing essential drought tolerance.

• Soil Improvement: The deep taproot breaks through soil compaction, improving drainage and nutrient cycling in the soil profile.

• Flexible Grazing: Highly compatible with perennial ryegrass and suitable for medium to long-term rotational grazing systems.
