Hy!

Currently I'm writing a study on whole-crop silages made of wheat,
oats,
barley or rye. Aim of the study is to qualify the metabolize energy
value of
those silages to conclude some statements of the possibility to feed
them in
milkproduction instead of gras- or maizsilages. High energy vaules
are
necessary for that.
Now I'm searching for articles in which the energetic values of the
different ensiled cereals arecompared, maybe in different matureity
stages
(i.e. milk ripeness, yellow ripeness, etc.).

You know any sources for that?

Do you mean something like this?

The link is to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. They do a lot
of ag
research there. Maybe someone there could help.

there is a lot of whole crop silage in the UK and probably Europe on
whole-crop silages. In the UK there are pretty popular in those areas
where we are at the limit of Maize growing. Not sure how much is on the
web but the two magazines that are most likely to cover whole crop are

Dairy FArmer Editor Shirley Macmillan

British Dairying

obviously you will have to put a country code in front of the fax
numbers
