Extract

The question of the composition of sugar beet tops and their utilisation for feeding purposes has been dealt with in a recent publication (l). The purpose of the present communication is to record the results of investigations into the problem of the preservation of sugar beet tops by the method of ensilage. The account falls naturally under four headings:

I. Ensilage of sugar beet tops alone.

II. Ensilage of sugar beet tops mixed with wheat chaff.

III. Ensilage of sugar beet tops mixed with wet sugar beet pulp.

IV. Nutritive value, as determined by digestion trials on sheep, of the silage obtained from the mixture of tops and pulp.
