QUESTION
The best crop for silage making is?
OPTIONS
(A) Maize
(B) Lucerne
(C) Oats
(D) All of the above
ANSWER
(A) Maize
EXPLANATION
Maize is particularly well suited to silage because it gives high dry-matter yield, contains readily fermentable carbohydrates and can be harvested at an appropriate moisture level for good lactic-acid fermentation. Lucerne and oats can also be ensiled, but maize is generally regarded as the best conventional silage crop among these choices.
