Abstract

Ensilage of S. almum cv. Crooble was tested in laboratory silos using a wide range of material, by assessing the preservation chemically. Mature crops (i.e. cut when 9 to 11 weeks old) made very well-preserved silage during a dry season and reasonaby well-preserved silage, provided the crop was not wet by rain at harvest, during a wet season. Young crops (i.e. up to 7 to 8 weeks old) decomposed badly during ensiling
