Silage sorghum, an alternative to silage maize

, 2020
Problem Forage production of silage maize becomes increasingly challenging due to soil quality degradation, increasing pressure of diseases and pests, legal limitations in N and P-fertilization rate, higher chances of drought and excessive water due to climate change.

Digestion, rumen fermentation and circulating concentrations of insulin, growth hormone and IGF-1 in steers fed diets based on different proportions of maize silage and grass silage [PDF]

Animal, 2008
Replacing grass silage with maize silage results in a fundamental change in the ratio of structural to non-structural carbohydrates with commensurate changes in rumen fermentation patterns and nutrient utilisation.

Intake, growth and meat quality of steers given diets based on varying proportions of maize silage and grass silage [PDF]

, 2005
Simmental × Holstein-Friesian steers were offered four forage diets. These comprised grass silage (G); proportionately 0·67 grass silage, proportionately 0·33 maize silage (GGM); 0·33 grass silage, 0·67 maize silage ( MMG); maize silage ( M) from 424 (s ...

Field and in-silico analysis of harvest index variability in maize silage. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2023
Maize silage is a key component of feed rations in dairy systems due to its high forage and grain yield, water use efficiency, and energy content. However, maize silage nutritive value can be compromised by in-season changes during crop development due ...

Preparation, Maintenance and Utilisation of Maize Silage: A Review [PDF]

, 2003
Forage conservation has become an important tool for animal enterprises to ensure an adequate supply of quality feed throughout the year. This in turn contributes to stability in animal production and thus economic performance. Silage is often the preferred preserved fodder when animals are fed adjacent to the storage site.

Influence of maize hybrids on silage quality

, 2023
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important silage crop due to its low buffer capacity, high amount of dry matter and optimal concentration of soluble carbohydrates. Silage of maize is a process of anaerobic preservation by lactic acid fermentation, which reduces the possibility of loss of nutrients from harvest to consumption of animal feed.

Maize silage for milk production - Part 1: Effect of the quality of maize silage on milk [PDF]

, 1998
Ensiled forage maize is an alternative or complementary forage to grass silage and is the main source of forage for ruminant livestock in many European countries. The growing of maize for silage was tried unsuccessfully in Ireland in the 1970’s, was resumed in the late 1980’s and is now well established in suitable areas in the south and east of ...

Mycotoxins in Maize Silage from China in 2019. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2022
Animal feed (including forage and silage) can be contaminated with mycotoxins. Here, 200 maize silage samples from around China were collected in 2019 and analyzed for regulated mycotoxins, masked mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol, and deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside), and emerging mycotoxins (beauvericin, enniatins,

Effects of Lactobacillus plantarum inoculants on maize silage quality [PDF]

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2017
In the winter time in Serbia, maize silage is the main ruminant feed. Therefore, managing maize silage is an important contributor to maintain the silage quality for livestock feed.
