Corn silage is considered to be an efficient and functional energy source in most North American dairy rations. Just as with cattle breeding, the genetic improvements in corn have been significant and continuous. Dairy cows fed corn silage-based rations must maintain a ruminal environment that ...

This study was conducted to determine the energy use efficiency for corn silage production in Iran. For this purpose, data were collected from farmers by using a face to face questionnaire. Energy indices, technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated by using Data Envelopment ...
The objective was to evaluate the nutrient intake and digestibility and milk production response of lactating dairy cows fed diets based on corn silage produced from 3 different types of corn hybrids. Experimental diets contained 36.4% of the dietary dry matter (DM) from corn silage produced from...
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of replacing corn silage (CS) with whole-plant soybean silage (SS) in dairy cow diets on nutrient intake and apparent total-tract digestibility, rumen fermentation, milk yield, composition and fatty acid profile of milk, serum metabolites, and feeding ...

Corn silage is an important feed for intense ruminant production, but the growth of corn relies heavily on the use of chemical fertilizers. Sustainable crop production requires careful management of all nutrient sources available on a farm, particularly in corn-based cropping systems.Experiments were ...
