Extract
As more farmers try to improve the efficiency of their production systems by sourcing safer and cheaper dietary energy and protein from home grown feeds, the importance of cereal-legume bi-crops for winter-feeding of UK livestock may increase. However, little is known about the production, conservation, feeding value and animal performance from such bi-crops in the UK. This study measured the feed intake and milk production from dairy cows fed pea-wheat bi-crop silages.
