Extract

Interest in the feeding of whole-crop wheat silage has been on the increase (Newman, 1990) but to fully exploit its potential, whole-crop wheat has to be harvested at advanced stages of growth (dough stage). The objective was to assess the feeding value of whole-crop winter wheat silage harvested at two stages of growth and treated with two commercial (Finnish Sugar Co. Ltd., Helsinki) cellulase and hemi-cellulase mixtures (Clampzyme [CLZ] and FS02 [FS2]).
