A note on red clover silage for cattle finishing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Abstract
Trials were carried out over two winters to compare red clover and grass silage for cattle finishing.
The silages were mixed to give rations containing 0,25,50,75 or 100% red clover dry-matter and were offered ad libitum to individually fed British Friesian-type steers. Significant differences in dry-matter intake occurred but the effect of silage type on animal performance was not significant. Barley supplementation had a significant effect on both total dry-matter intake and daily live-weight gain.
