We also saw significant differences in crude protein with ExpGD having the highest (3.47%) and Silo 700 BMR (1.93%) being the lowest. 2013-05 Article http://hdl.handle.net/10150/312126 Forage and Grain: A College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Report en_US AZ1597 College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ)
