Feeding value of clover
Red and white clover are highly effective in under-grass systems, thanks to their strong regenerative capacity. They can withstand frequent grazing and heavy livestock pressure, making them ideal for pasture management. These legumes can produce up to 3,000–4,000 kg of fresh forage per hectare. The grass is soft, leafy, and highly palatable, with exceptional nutritional value that makes it the top choice among legumes. Its dry matter contains 28.7% crude protein, 3.4% fat, 40.4% soluble carbohydrates, 28.7% minerals, 0.9% calcium, and 0.3% phosphorus.
However, red and white clover have a relatively low growth height, which limits their dry matter yield per unit area compared to other grasses. Because of this, they are often mixed with grasses like perennial ryegrass to create a more balanced and productive pasture system. This combination not only enhances the nutritional quality and overall yield of the forage but also helps suppress weed growth by quickly covering the ground.
In addition, red and white clover play a crucial role in improving soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, which boosts the availability of nitrogen for other grasses. This process supports the growth of high-yielding forage species and contributes to long-term pasture sustainability. Overall, red and white clover are valuable components in mixed sowing systems, offering both ecological and agricultural benefits.
