Abstract
As a result of co-operative investigations carried out with the Research Institute for Animal Physiology, a report has already been published1 on the summer feeding of green soybeans, in which it was shown that the relative protein-deficiency in green maize silage having a high dry-matter yield may be compensated by the flowering, pod-forming soybean. In the present communication we propose to describe our experimental results on the feeding of silage made from soybeans pulped in the green condition. The analytical results showed that the digestible protein content and starch value of 1 kgm. of wheat bran are equal to the digestible protein content and starch value of 5 kgm. pulped soybean silage. We endeavoured, therefore, to demonstrate in our feeding experiments with pulped soybeans whether from the point of view of food conversion wheat bran can be substituted by soybean-silage.
