nw NC | Are you asking about the nutritive value of it compared to corn silage ? If so, grass silage can be quite variable in feed value dependent upon stage of growth at harvest. Read this site .... http://www.silageadvice.com/library/articles/grass-quality-not-yiel...
Harvest it just as seed head appears , you have high quality, digestible feed. The older it gets , quality (nutrient value) drops . A three week delay will result in a "filler" quality feed needing protein and energy supplement, just as would be required with overly mature hay. Grass silage changes much as maturity increases, whereas corn silage will have high energy value almost regardless of its harvest stage and the protein varies little also. | |

Anyone ever make grass silage?
