Additional Information:
There is a growing market in the UK for free range poultry products. All free range birds must have outside access to forage freely during daylight hours. EC legislation requires all foraging areas are 'mainly covered with vegetation'. Our Economy Poultry Ley is based on short growing, hardwearing grass species to fulfil that basic requirement. Although this mixture contains a little white clover it will not make a significant contribution to voluntary protein intake. However, the sward will provide good ground cover and a very stable, robust pasture even in wet weather. Sow at the higher rate for faster and more even establishment.
