Satellite Symposium 2: Silage

Description

Research has shown that there are positive benefits from using Lotus as a grazing forage for ruminants. These findings warrant studies into the suitability of different varieties for silage production. In this experiment, we investigated the chemical composition of 13 birdsfoot trefoil varieties and 1 greater birdsfoot trefoil when ensiled.

Effect of Variety and Species on the Chemical Composition of Lotus When Ensiled

These findings warrant studies into the suitability of different varieties for silage production.
