Twelve species of weeds common on Canadian Prairie that are common contaminates in grain and forages were selected for two pen trials examining seed viability. Experiment 1: examined seeds after they were exposed to silage incubation, rumen digestion for 24 hours and silage incubation and rumen digestion. Experiment 2: determined the rate of 4 seed viability decline over time of 4 species of weeds in the rumen.
