Silage corn (western Oregon) [2009]

Creator:: Hart, John M. (John Mervyn), 1947-, Sullivan, Dan M., Gamroth, Mike, Downing, Troy, Peters, Amy, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Silage corn makes excellent feed for dairy cattle because of its high dry-matter yield, energy content, and palatability, especially when mixed with other feed. Also, it does not accumulate potassium as do many cool-season grass species. Nitrogen (N) is the most yield-limiting nutrient for silage corn production. Most dairies in...
