[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 247"] Nutrition would have to be analysed. My guess would be similar to grass hay. Any good feed store has a lab they use. Lush green grass will be on the wet side, but how to allow it to dry and not be lots of extra work is a tough one. I would feed the silage as a part of the diet, not the whole diet. Usually silage is 65% moisture and takes 2.5 pounds to replace 1 pound of cured hay. using this formula, use 25 pounds to replace 10 pounds of hay. Any class of animal can use silage, make the descision based on amount of silage, feeding period, and number of animals.
