6. This offers benefits for production and the environment, including lower emissions of ammonia, nitrous oxide and #agriculturalmethane
If you want to learn more, read our guide on the science behind Aber High Sugar Grass:

5. Germinal’s Aber High Sugar Grass has higher levels of water-soluble carbohydrates to provide readily available energy and help #livestock process more protein from grass.

4. The unused nitrogen is then absorbed as ammonia before later being excreted into the environment.

3. A major reason for these losses is the imbalance between readily available energy and protein in grass. Proteins are rapidly broken down when feed enters the rumen, but the lack of available energy means less of the released nitrogen is used.

2. This is not only a waste of money for farmers but detrimental to the environment. Germinal's Aber High Sugar Grass (HSG) offers a solution that is both productive for #farmers and #climate smart for the #environment .
