Factors That Affect Silage Quality ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Veronica Walsh, Coláiste Treasa

Silage Data Increase in yield= longer growing period, increase photosynthesis & day length, Variation in digestibility= grass develops flower, high % cellulose, reduction in starch Decrease in carcass = lower intake, less digestible food, decreased protein content Veronica Walsh, Coláiste Treasa Harvest Date 15 May 29 May 13 June 27 June Silage Yield 4.0 5.2 6.6 7.8 Silage Digestibility 75 70 65 60 Silage Intake 9.0 8.3 7.6 7.0 Carcass Gain 0.51 0.39 0.27 0.15
