Comparison of feeding corn silages from leafy or conventional corn hybrids to lactating dairy cows.
Three corn hybrids (Pioneer 36F30, Mycogen TMF2450, and Mycogen TMF2404) were compared for yield and quality traits, and lactation performance and apparent digestibility by Holstein cows. The three corn silages were harvested at a target of 33 to 35% dry matter. Before harvest, six corn plants were randomly selected for plant fractionation. Grain-to-stover ratios were 0.92, 0.70, and 0.95 for t...
متن کاملWhat’s New with Corn Silage?
High quality whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) contributes greatly to supplying the energy, starch and forage neutral detergent fi ber needs of high-producing dairy cows, reducing purchased feed costs from expensive grain and byproduct supplements, and genera ng milk revenues for dairy producers throughout the world. The purpose of this paper is to review selected recent developments and considera...
متن کاملRanking Corn Silage Hybrids
Corn hybrids for silage vary in yield and several quality traits that affect farm profitability, which is the prime criterion on which hybrids should be ranked. The partial budget approach is the only way to rank corn hybrids for silage for individual farms according to their effects on farm profits. Partial budgets consider only those costs and returns that change in response to the corn hybri...
متن کاملInoculants for Corn Silage
Various spoilage microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and molds) readily grow on crops going into a silo, causing losses in dry matter and quality. To prevent these various microorganisms from growing, two conditions are needed in the silo: an oxygen-free (or anaerobic) environment and a low pH. Many of the oxygen-requiring (aerobic) microorganisms that heat the silage as well as causing losses can...
متن کاملCorn Genetics and Animal Feeding Value
Grain and forage from corn plants vary in composition and digestibility due to genetics and numerous environmental factors. For decades, corn hybrids have been selected based on agronomics (yield, disease and insect resistance). In addition, hybrids have been developed or selected for specific traits desired in specialty markets (food manufacturing properties: popcorn, white color, waxy, high a...
