Hello all,

I would like to know about the advantage of feeding corn silage to cattle as a feeder.

Can corn silage substitute green fooders to cattle....

And about bear waste - Is t really nutritious to cattle. If yes!! Can any one help me out in knowing the nutritious value of bear waste...


Many thanks

Hi

Harvesting corn as silage furnishes 50 to 60 percent more nutrients per acre for beef cattle than harvesting the grain alone, an important consideration for a cattle feeding enterprise that is tied closely to the farm feed supply. Corn silage is a safe feed.

There is no advantage for corn silage with over 35 percent dry matter with respect to the nutrients produced per acre, digestibility of the silage, or in the dry matter consumed daily by beef cattle. The maximum percentage of grain in the silage is reached at a stage of maturity that corresponds to 35 percent dry matter silage. Further increases in dry matter of the silage are due to moisture lost from the corn plant as it matures.
