Consistent composition over several years
Barenbrug Research has tested various combinations of herbs and grasses in order to exclude the risk of grassing.

NutriHerb increases the fertility, udder health and general immunity of your dairy cattle. This has been achieved thanks to the tannins, the essential oils and the higher mineral content of the diff erent herbs.
Highly resistant to extreme weather conditions
A NutriHerb plot can withstand extreme weather conditions such as drought or a wet period thanks to its intensive deep rooting. The worms and soil bacteria that the grass herbs attract make the soil more active and resilient.
The dry matter yield of a NutriHerb plot is higher than that of grass alone. This can be attributed to the various clover varieties contained in NutriHerb. They bind nitrogen from the air and embed it in the soil, resulting in better soil fertility. Nitrogen fertilization is (almost) no longer necessary.
Sophisticated selection of feed herbs
NutriHerb is formulated with feed herbs that perform well in combination with grasses. NutriHerb is a mix of red and white clover, sainfoin, bird's-foot Trefoil, chicory, caraway and narrow leaved plantain in combination with grass. Read more about it.
