Effects of Silage pH on Voluntary Intake of Corn Silage
Journal of Dairy Science, 1984 We evaluated effects of silage pH on corn silage intake. Sixteen Holstein heifers (292 kg) were fed control corn silage during a 2-wk preliminary period. This was followed by an 8-wk experimental period in which animals were fed silage neutralized with 0, 2, 4, or 6% sodium bicarbonate (dry matter) added prior to feeding with corresponding pH's 3.72, 4.

Silage review: Mycotoxins in silage: Occurrence, effects, prevention, and mitigation [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2018 Ensiled forage, particularly corn silage, is an important component of dairy cow diets worldwide. Forages can be contaminated with several mycotoxins in the field pre-harvest, during storage, or after ensiling during feed-out. Exposure to dietary mycotoxins adversely affects the performance and health of livestock and can compromise human health ...
