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.
