Grazing or silaging canola

[sammiam]

Does anyone have experience grazing or trying to make silage from of canola?

There is not a lot of good information on silaging canola (at least I haven't seen it)... Ag Canada completed some research many years ago, and suggested the palatability may be down a bit vs barley silage partly due to coarse stocks but there seemed to be little hesitation otherwise. Be aware that nitrates could be a problem with any drought stressed barley, canola, oats or wheat.. Have the feed tested before feeding!!
