PER KG REBOUND FORAGE MILLET DLF (25) S&W 300149

S&W Seed Company Rebound Forage Millet is often the first summer forage producers will reach for, as it can be sown while soil temperatures are 14 degrees celcius and rising.

In many areas, this can be up to a month earlier than forage sorghum, which requires a soil temperature of 16 degrees celcius and rising.

Rebound is known for its quick establishment and can be grazed as soon as six weeks after sowing.

With moisture present, grazing intervals can be as quick as every four weeks.

Rebound is also very responsive to rainfall even after a prolonged period of inactivity.

Companion planting with Rebound millet is a great tool growers can use to extend the length and quality of feed in a paddock.

In areas like the Slopes and Tablelands, or under irrigation, it is common to mix Rebound with Subzero Hybrid Forage Brassica, Balance Chicory and Ranger Plantain.

These combinations can provide excellent finishing feed for prime lambs or weaners.

The introduction of legumes such as red or white clover can also provide additional nitrogen to the Rebound.

While millet hay is certainly not going to finish stock, it would be more than adequate for maintaining breeders or make the perfect addition to a fresh forage cereal paddock.

The high levels of water-soluble carbohydrates can help to elevate the risk of lambing sickness and grass tetany.
