While corn silage provides an excellent nutritional profile and can be grown or purchased at a cost-effective price, it is more than just another supplementary feed.
Feeding low nitrogen corn silage in conjunction with pasture dilutes dietary protein levels and this, in turn, reduces the amount of nitrogen excreted in the urine. Even greater reductions are possible when the corn silage is fed on a stand-off pad that allows cows to be kept off pasture during wetter months.
Feeding corn silage results in more pasture being left in the paddock. The corn silage feed-out rate can be altered to prevent under and overgrazing allowing pasture growth rates to be maximized. Feeding corn silage on a stand-off pad reduces overgrazing and pasture pugging, increasing the amount of pasture harvested.
Low protein, high carbohydrate corn silage is an excellent complement to a low carbohydrate, high protein pasture. Corn silage is safe to feed because it contains a mix of grain and fiber, corn.
