TabIvE II. — Comparison of the composition of sunflower and corn silage 



The composition of sunflower silage compares very favorably with 

 that of corn silage. No data are at present available on the digestion 

 coefficients of sunflower silage, but it is hoped that such data will be 

 secured during the coming year. Practical feeding, however, indicates 

 that sunflower silage is equal to corn silage for many purposes. Sun- 

 flowers for silage appear to offer a very good substitute for corn silage in 

 districts where corn can not be grown.
