A small‐scale conservation experiment is described in which molasses, zinc bacitracin and dried sugar‐cane juice were compared as additives to grass silage. The results indicate that all these additives improved the quality of the silage, but do not suggest any significant decrease in dry‐matter loss due to the use of preservatives.
