ABSTRACT The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) within the 5′ untranslated region of the gene encoding GDP‐L ...

Use of “Corn Picker for Silage” to Evaluate Corn Silage Hybrids 2010 Trials Update
“Corn Picker for Corn Silage” is an Excel spreadsheet program that more accurately determines a superior corn silage hybrid based on all relevant costs and returns that affect corn silage and dairy nutrition. It can be localized to specific farm situations or one can use a standard set of costs such as “Estimated Costs of Crop Production in Iowa- 2010”

Corn Silage, Managing the Manageable
This paper reviews key factors in corn silage production that affect quality, yield, starch content, and fiber digestibility‒elements that directly influence feed costs and animal performance. Notably, improved management practices have the potential to enhance profits by as much as $30 per ton of silage. In the United States, over six million acres of

Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems
Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

Effects of corn silage and corn silage with hay from xerophytic plants on sheep feeding
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of partial inclusion of xerophyte hay in corn silage in the diet of twenty entire male sheep without a defined breed standard (NDRS) distributed in four diets with corn silage (CS), corn silage with gliricidia hay (CSG), corn silage with pornunça hay (CSP), corn silage with ...

Abstract Biostimulants promote plant growth, nutrient uptake, and drought tolerance, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Intercropping, involving multiple crop species on the same land, is a promising practice. In Denmark, pea (Pisum sativum)–barley (Hordeum vulgare) intercrop (PBIC) is commonly used for grain and fodder production.

Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

Effect of urea on fermentation quality and nutritional value of whole corn silage
The experiment studied the effect of urea on the feed quality and nutritional value of corn silage. The experiment was divided into three groups. The control group did not add urea, and the test group added 0.3% and 0.6% urea of fresh corn weight ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Current recycling measures for closing the phosphorus (P) cycle are limited by the lower fertiliser use efficiencies of recycled products. Increasing P use efficiency (PUE) through maize genotype selection and management may offer a sustainable solution, but the potential of variety choice and its interaction with placed ...
