Vol. 346 No. 10

Written Answers. - Silage Evaluation.

24.

Mr. Leonard

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will, in view of the continuous reports of poor quality silage, request each ACOT committee to provide an opportunity to farmers of having their silage evaluated.

The promotion of quality silage production is a major feature of ACOT's advisory programme. In the course of farm visits, advisers will provide visual assessment of silage quality on request.

A service for laboratory analysis of silage is provided by An Foras Talúntais and by a number of private firms.
