It is noticeable that the Canadian list does not include fresh or ensiled forages, although it details a number of dry forage and roughage feeds. |
Young grass can be ensiled, as can other feeds such as brewers' grains for example. |
A preservative is then applied and the grain is ensiled in a polythene-lined clamp. |
A number of farmers ensiled potatoes with grass to conserve the material for winter feeding. |
Directly ensiled grass can produce peak effluent flows of up to 30 litres per tonne per day for the first few days after ensiling. |
The value of the crop for cattle feed if grazed, hayed or ensiled depends on yield, the price of alternative forages, and cost of utilization as forage. |
