Geas ler, “Lambs fed fine chop silage had a higher voluntary feed in take than lambs fed medium chopped silage ” The experiments also showed that lambs eating finely cut sil age had greatly increased quan tities of volatile fatty acids in the rumen at the end of the di gestive process (Volatile fatty acids are the end pioduct of lummant digestion and provide energy for the life processes of these animals) In his MSU experiments Geas lei used fistulated lambs—lambs with plastic windows suigically inserted mtheu stomachs so that the entue digestive process could be obseived during the coin silage feeding trial He studied the effects of silage maturity and fineness of chop. Coin silage for the research project was harvested in mid- September and mid-October At each harvest two silos were filled, one with fine chop silage and one with medium chop silage Experimental results showed that stage of corn maturity at harvest had no effect on volatile fatty acids 01 voluntary feed intake.
