Abstract

Legume forages, because of the tubular and hollow stem structure, low soluble sugar content and high buffering capacity are less likely to undergo otpimal fermentation. Therefore, response to silage additives (such as formic acid) or preservatives may be great with legume forages. This study was conducted to evaluate the DM and protein digestibility of lucerne hay or lucerne silage treated with urea and/or sulphuric acid using mobile nylon bag technique.
