The Feeding Value of High Dry Matter Corn Silage
<p>The important of corn in dairy cattle feeding is generally acknowledged. A popular way of preserving the crop is to make corn silage, thus using the whole plant for feed and preserving maximum feed per acre. The increased utilization of corn silage by dairymen may be due to its high energy …

Feeding Value of Brown-Midrib Corn Silage for Lactating Dairy Cows
… feeding value of brown-midrib (bm<sub>3</sub>) corn silage and its normal (N) genetic counterpart using ten Holstein cows per group averaging 6 wk post-partum at the start of the experiment. The cow were fed corn silage (bm<sub>3 </sub>or N) ad libitum, 2.25 kg alfalfa hay/hd and grain (1 kg/3 …

Assays for deterioration and estimates of feeding value of corn silage
Corn silages were selected from samples analyzed in the Virginia Tech Forage Testing Laboratory. A sample selection scheme employing observation of silage quality indicators (color, mold, aroma, fermentation type) was utilized to obtain a sample set encompassing a wide range in deterioration. In …

Intake and Digestibility of Brown-Midrib Corn Silage by Lactating Dairy Cows
… (bm<sub>3</sub>) mutant (low lignin) corn silage for early lactation Holstein cows. In trial 1, five cows per group were individually fed a ration of silage and grain (60:40 ratio, dry matter basis) from week 2 through 8 of lactation. Lignin percentages for bm<sub>3</sub> and normal …

Feeding Value of High Protein Oat Silage Versus Corn Silage for Dairy Cows
<p>Corn accounts for 80% of the total silage production in the United States while oats ranks second as a feed grain crop. Oats are a major crop in areas of the world where temperatures are cool and short growing seasons are not well suited for corn production. South Dakota is the leading oat …

Whole-plant corn silage and foliar fungicide: Strategies to improve dairy feed quality and profitability
… ingredient to include in TMR is whole-plant corn silage (WPCS), which is often sprayed with foliar fungicide during growth to decrease disease incidence. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine if different corn hybrids treated with foliar fungicide and harvested as WPCS …

Utilization of corn silage grown by conventional and sustainable methods fed with different nitrogen supplements
… a feedlot finishing trial were conducted with silage made from corn (Zea mays L.) forage grown by conventional and sustainable methods. For the metabolism trial, 24 wether lambs were allotted to four diets: 1) conventional corn silage supplemented with urea, 2) conventional corn silage …

Effect of sulfur fertilization on yield and chemical composition of corn forage and utilization of corn silage by sheep
… and 67 kg/ha as a single or split application on corn (Zea mays L.) forage yield and chemical composition. Sulfur fertilization by either method increased yield of whole plant and grain 7% and increased number of plants with two ears. Total S and sulfate-S concentration in whole corn plants, leaf, …

Nutrient composition of ensiled alfalfa and corn forages grown in Virginia
Corn (Zea mays) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) silages are used extensively in Virginia. A survey was conducted to determine chemical composition of these two forage silages grown in five geographical regions of Virginia; Eastern Virginia (EV), Northern Piedmont (NP), Southern Piedmont (SP), …

The use of corn treated with various applications of foliar fungicide to increase corn silage quality and performance of Holstein cows
… use of foliar fungicide has shown to increase corn grain yield in recent years. Fungicides can increase forage quality and by changing corn composition and nutritive value. However, little is known on what effects this may have on quality of corn ensiled and production when the silage is fed to …

Influence of Microbial Inoculants for Corn Silage on Fermentation Characteristics and Nutrient Composition in Vitro, and on Production Responses in Lactating Cows
… of three commercial microbial inoculants for corn silage on fermentation and silage composition were evaluated in laboratory silos. Treatments were control and three microbiai inoculants: Nordica Corn Silage Inoculant, AgMaster Corn Silage Inoculant, and Pioneer Silage Inoculant. The Nordica …

From field to rumen: foliar fungicide application on corn and its effects on the corn plant, corn silage, and Holstein cow performance
… large crop yields. The interaction of fungi and corn plants in the field threaten yields, decreasing the efficiency of food production and the nutritive quality of feedstuffs for ruminants. Fungicides can assist corn plants in protection from fungal infection by limiting yield losses and …
