Burlington shows that wilted
glass silage is superaoi to high
moisture grass silage as a feed
for raising dairy calves
In the Vermont expmimenls,
the wilted silage was found to
have an average dry mater con
tent of the highmoistuie silage
avei aged 22 05 per cent Grain
feeding was limited during the
tests to two to three pounds
daily, but the calves were fed all
the silage they could eat
On an aveiage, the calves on
wilted glass silage ate 833 per
cent more diy matter and gained
965 per cent more m weight!

age When sodium bisulfite was
added to the high moisture sil
age, the quality was improved
some, but not enough to equal
that of the wiltee grass silage.
