This experiment was carried out to determine the feeding value of high moisture green barley silage. The results obtained in this experiment were as follows: 1. There was less loss of nutrients of green barley than that of other silage through the ensiling. 2. High moisture contents made the silage a considerable seepage and acid fermentation was good. 3. The silage quality by KIRSCH method was also good. 4. The silage was palatable to all species of livestock and it was supposed that the silage would be good as winter roughage to livestock. 5. From the above results it was suggested that green barley, green barley hay and green barley silage are all good roughage to livestock and that more, good roughage to livestock can be self-supported with green barley silage.
