Abstract
Grass forms a major component of the total ruminant feed in both Ireland and the UK. Much of the grassland consists of permanent swards of diverse botanical composition with many of the grass species present considered ‘secondary’ or ‘undesirable’ (Frame and Tiley, 1987). The objective of this study was to compare reseeded Lolium multiflorum and Lolium perenne swards with an old permanent grassland sward managed under intensive silage conservation systems, and to determine the annual production of grass silage and subsequent beef carcass output per hectare when the silages were offered to finishing cattle.
