Additional Information:
There is a growing market in the UK for domestic and commercial free range poultry products. All commercial free range birds must have acces to outside forage during daylight hours. EC legislation requires all foraging areas to be 'mainly covered with vegetation'. Our Poultry Pasture is based on short growing, hardwearing grass species to fulfil that basic requirement along with legumes and deep rooting herbs to increase the potential intake of protein, minerals and nutrients from the forage. Not only will this permanent pasture introduce a wider range of leaf matter into the diet, the more diverse habitat will attract a higher number of invertebrates for the free range bird to consume. The sward will generally 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.
