A mathematical model to study forage conservation methods
Grass and Forage Science, 1978AbstractA mathematical model which simulates a single‐cut forage conservation system is described. It was designed to investigate the effect of machine performance on the nutrient content of conserved forage but its scope is much wider, so that the effects of such aspects as crop growth characteristics, climatic differences and management policy can be

FORAGE CONSERVATION IN THE TROPICS*
Grass and Forage Science, 1969Under arid tropical conditions the natural grazing provides less than maintenance requirements for 8–9 months of the year. Conservation of natural or sown herbage, either as hay or silage, should be discouraged because of the low nutritive value of the product, and the unfavourable weather usually prevailing during conservation.

Systems Alternatives in Forage Harvest and Conservation
Transactions of the ASAE, 1985ABSTRACT TWO recently introduced forage conservation systems, round bale silage and stack silos, were compared economically with three traditional systems. Systems were simulated over a 10-year period under Quebec weather conditions. The simulation model predicted daily alfalfa yield and quality, harvest, field drying and losses, storage losses and ...

Forage Conservation Techniques
2014Forage includes plant species directly or indirectly consumed by animals. The book carries information on all theoretical and practical aspects of conservation and utilization of forages as silage, hay and haylage. This is a complete text book on forage conservation consisting of:

Sows prefer forages conserved as haylage over hay and fresh forage
Livestock Science, 2019Abstract To optimize the use of conserved forages in the feeding of sows, it is necessary to better understand how conservation methods influence their forage intake. The aim of this study was to determine sows’ preferences for forages from different conservation methods.

3.2 Utilization of Conserved Forages
BSAP Occasional Publication, 1982From the late autumn until the spring, a large proportion of the ruminant livestock in the United Kingdom, dairy cows especially, are housed indoors or sheltered and given rations of hay or silage ad libitum with supplementary feeds to provide additional energy and protein.

The role of conserved forages in the nutrition of the dairy cow
Livestock Production Science, 1978Abstract Forages are universally popular ingredients in dairy rations because of (1) their agronomic properties, (2) their economy as sources of energy and essential nutrients, and (3) their physiological role in digestion. The contribution that forages make in support of milk production is limited by the cow's capacity for feed intake, especially in

Ex Situ Conservation of Forage Legumes
2001This chapter analyses progress and the current status of ex situ conservation of 739 species of 27 genera of forage legumes in relation to their natural distribution. Analysis is based on passport data of individual accessions. As such, the scope of the chapter is restricted to those collections for which the authors have been granted access to ...

Simulation of forage harvest and conservation on dairy farms
Agricultural Systems, 1985Abstract A computer model was developed to simulate forage systems on dairy farms. The model simulated alfalfa growth, corn silage and corn grain yields, harvest, storage, feeding and ration formulation for a dairy herd. A 26-year series of historical weather data from East Lansing, Michigan, was used to compare management and technological ...
