Low Moisture Silago
Good Bit For
Higher Quality Forage
The luck of good hay-making
weather in Northeastern states
makes low moisture silages an
atlracthc bet for higher quality
loi .'go.
Tills observation was made re
cently b.v C H. (Jordon, Animat
Hmoandry Research Division,
U. v ’ Department of Agricul
lint Beltsville, Md. Gordon
spele at the 11th annual North
ern ‘ Fei Ulizer Conference spoil
soml by National Plant Food
Institute and northeastern land
grant universities.
The efficiency of handling
and preseivmg low moisture sil
agt. improved palatability, and
adaptability to a mechanized
hanesting and feeding opera
lion are additional plus factors
for this type of forage, he said.
The major disadvantage of
low moisture forage, said Gor
don. is susceptibility to air spoil
age so that careful attention
must be given to providing air
tight storage
The animal researcher was
optimistic about low moisture
silage potential primarily be
cause of the reduction in labor
involved and the promise of im
pro\ed foiage quality
