energy needs from concentrates. Some forage is necessary, however, and when supplies of hay and silage are limited forages should be rationed.
Example - One hundred pounds of average hay contains about 40 therms of N. E. (Net Energy) while 100 pounds of average concentrates contain nearly 70 therms. This means that as an energy source about 75% more can be paid for concentrates. Corn, for example/ has been a relatively cheap source of energy as compared with hay this spring. Green Chop - Green chopping growing crops such as small grains may be considered if they are seeded for this purpose or if it appears they are being damaged by dry weather. Reseeding to Sudan grass or millet can produce pasture or mdre gr een chop in six to eight weeks. Replanting to corn can produce silage next fall. It is difficult to maintain quality when green chopping is practiced throughout the season because the crop matures more rapidly than anticipated. Because of this and other practical reasons ensiling of the material and feeding from the silo is more dependable. One should remember that it takes approximately 4 pounds green chop or 3 pounds green silage to equal 1 pound of hay in feeding value.
