The true cost of maize silage

Journal of New Zealand Grasslands, 2015
The New Zealand dairy industry has increased significantly in size in over the last two decades. One of the drivers that has made this intensification possible is the use of maize silage as a feed supplement. Growing maize on farm imposes production and opportunity costs on the farm business.

Properties of different silage maize hybrids [PDF]

Food and Feed Research, 2020
The aim of this study was to observe the properties of ten maize hybrids from Serbia including agronomic traits, lignocellulosic fibre composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility. Five yellow kernel dent hybrids and five analogue red kernel hybrids were used in this study to evaluate the agronomic traits, dry matter content of the whole plant ...

Assessment of the phenology, silage yield and quality of spring maize (Zea mays)in different crop rotations

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
In north-western India, maize (Zea mays L.) is mainly grown in spring season for silage making. Sowing time of spring maize in different rice (Oryza sativa L.) and maize-based crop rotations varies, and it affects the yield and quality of silage.

Parental Commercial Maize Selection for Silage Production

Revista Brasileira de Milho e Sorgo, 2008
The objectives of this study were to select maize genitors and determine the selection strategy for obtaining high quality silage maize hybrids. An experiment was conducted involving 45 hybrids obtained using a diallel scheme among commercial hybrids and four controls, in a triple lattice 7 x 7 design.

Yield and quality of silage of maize hybrids [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this research was to identify the potential of maize hybrids for the production of silage. Hybrids 1671B, 2B433, 20A78, SHS4070, BX1280 and DKB390 were tested in a randomized block design with three replications. The hybrids yields were evaluated (average plant height, height of ear insertion, number of broken and lodged plants/ha ...

Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Effects of fermentation products of silage on its intake by cattle [PDF]

, 1992
The end-products of silage fermentation have been implicated as factors limiting its intake by ruminant animals, although the contribution of individual chemical components is not clearly understood. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate
