Forage and grain legume silages as a valuable source of proteins for dairy cows

In order to improve the supply of home-grown proteins in dairy farms, legume silage management is considered. The factors that affects fermentative quality and protein degradation during ensiling of tannin containing (sulla, sainfoin) and non tannin-containing (lucerne, field pea) legumes are discus...
