Extract

New cultivars of forage maize have recently been introduced into this country which make maize silage an attractive alternative crop to grass silage. Little advice is available on feeding maize silage to pregnant ewes in the United Kingdom. This experiment compares in physical and financial terms, the feeding of maize silage with grass silage, when offered to pregnant housed ewes.
