Highlights
Neither the content of whole-crop oats in the silage nor the addition of Goldzym had any effect on the chemical composition of silages
Due to its high yield, divided by 3-5 cuts per year, as well as high nutritive value, lucerne media ( L M ; Medicago media Pers) plays an important role among forages produced on cultivated lands in Poland (Pys et al, 2000)

Summary
Due to its high yield, divided by 3-5 cuts per year, as well as high nutritive value, lucerne media ( L M ; Medicago media Pers) plays an important role among forages produced on cultivated lands in Poland (Pys et al, 2000). It can be utilized in animal feeding artificially dehydrated or as herbage, hay or silage. Its high suitability for ensiling has been well documented (e.g., McCartney and Vaage, 1993) It is used as a protective plant for sod-seeded legumes and grasses and in this case the suggested harvest date is the milk stage o f grain (Nielsen et al, 1981)
