Entiling Poor Quality
Hoy Doesn't Improve It
The uie of legumes and
grasses for low-moisture sil
age, or haylage, is increasing,
according to Dr. W. R. Hessel
tine, extension dairyman at the
University of Delaware. This
increase is diie to the mechani
zation of feed handling sys
tems, the reduction of forage
quality by bad weather dur
ing harvest and the reduced
feeding value of direct-chop,
ensiled material.
Low-moisture legume and
grass silage may be useful in
a dairy feeding program, Hess
eltine believes. However, it is
no more nutritious than com
parable quality hay or wilted
silage of the same crop.
Merely ensiling a poor
quality bay crop in the ma
ture stage of growth does
not make the haylage a high
ly nutritive feed. The hay
lage cannot be any better, or
even as good, ensiled as it
would be if fed as is, Hessel
tine points out.
He recommends that dairy
men using this kind of rough-
W
age feed have a chemical
analysis to determine the ac
tual feeding value. The neces
sary protein level of the grain
mix depends on the quality of
protein in the roughage and
the amount of roughage fed.
To avoid excessive spoilage
of this type of haylage, the
material must be ensiled with
as little air as possible. Good
quality haylage has been re
covered from concrete tower
silos as well as airtight silos,
but trench silos should not be
used, Hesseltine advises.
