Care Management

Bloat awareness - Red Clover presents risks of bloat and management procedures to reduce this risk include:~

• Limiting access/grazing times to stock when first introduced
• Avoid grazing in wet conditions
• Feeding high dry matter forage like hay or straw before turning out
• Using and anti-bloat feed additive

Oestrogen - High levels of phyto-oestrogen, particularly Formononetin, are found in red clover and can cause ovulation problems in ewes. Avoid ewes grazing red clover pre and post tuping or even consuming ryegrass/red clover silage during this period.
