A Comparison of Alfalfa-Brome Grass Silage and Corn Silage for Dairy Cows*

R. K. Waugh, S. M. Hauge, J. W. Wilbur and J. H. Hilton

Departments of Dairy Husbandry and Agricultural Chemistry, Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, Lafayette, Indiana

ABSTRACT

  1. Alfalfa-brome grass silage and corn silage were found to be very similar in feeding value for milk production.
  2. The alfalfa-brome grass silage was higher in carotene than the corn silage. This higher carotene content was reflected in higher carotene values of the blood plasma and butterfat, and in higher total vitamin A values of the milk fat secreted by the cows.
