Sunflower silage

  • Arthur Amos (a1) and Herbert Ernest Woodman (a1)
Extract

One of the main problems confronting the advocates of silage in this country is the selection of crops suitable for being grown for ensilage purposes, particularly in view of the fact that attempts to produce maize silage in this country have frequently been unsuccessful. It has been demonstrated, in trials extending over a number of years at Cambridge, that the mixed oat and tare crop can be used for the production of silage with success. The silage from oats and tares, when made under favourable circumstances, is possessed of great palatability and excellent nutritive value, and moreover, the process, considered from the point of view of losses of ingredients as a result of silo fermentation, is, if anything, more economical than that by which maize forage is converted into silage (1).
