Notizen:
Self-feeding of silage has been successfully practised at Tillycorthie for 5 years. With unrestricted access to the feeding face, daily grazing times for 9-cwt. animals varied from 4 periods totalling 121 minutes in the case of stronger animals to 7 periods totalling 378 minutes.In feeding, chopped silage was more wasteful than long silage. The daily intake of 7-cwt. animals was 68 lb. of silage and 4 lb. of oat straw. The labour requirement for 70 animals was 6–6 hours per week.Food and labour costs on the system were 10s. 11d. per week. The estimated cost of the same items on. turnips and straw feeding is 16s. 4d. per week.The health of the cattle was good and growth excellent, and the animals went out to graze in a condition which allowed them to make maximum liveweight gain on grass.
