Seasonal growth
Viscount is late heading (+19). The biggest improvement with Viscount is in its early spring growth, coinciding with calving or lambing when feed is most valuable.
Feed quality
Viscount has reduced aftermath heading and improved rust tolerance. It is more upright for ease of harvest, allowing good clover content and boosting animal performance.
Animal performance
In addition to providing high quality feed, Viscount comes with NEA endophyte, similar to that in Bealey and Shogun. This plays an important role in providing superior animal performance with a very low risk of animal health problems, such as ryegrass staggers. As a matter of caution we currently do not recommend Viscount NEA be used for horses or deer.
