The Corn Feed

Dan Peterson of Reedsburg, Wis. says he noticed milk improvement right off the bat when he started feeding NutriDense® Silage. Additionally, he says compared to other corn silages, he saw an increase in milk production and better fiber digestibility and fat content. Now, NutriDense Silage is the only dairy feed in his silos.

Mark Johanek of Two Rivers, Wis. says since he’s been feeding NutriDense® Silage, he’s noticed a large milk increase and lower bought input costs. Because of that, he says NutriDense Silage is helping his bottom line look better.

Jon Herzog of Gillett, Wis. said the biggest benefit NutriDense® Silage gives him is the yield. This year he bought all NutriDense Silage – he says with the cost of inputs, he couldn’t afford a subpar corn silage crop.

Greg Paplham of Kewaunee, Wis. said NutriDense® Silage has shown him that it is a very cost-worthy investment for his herd’s ration. He says this is a corn silage that gives his cows more energy.

Andrew Zunker of Conrath, Wis. says lab results and his own cows have shown him that NutriDense® Silage is superior in fiber digestibility. Since he started feeding NutriDense Silage, he has reduced both his protein and feed costs, and says he’s been pleased with the results from this corn silage in his cows.

Bryan Gotham of Russell, N.Y. started growing NutriDense® Silage as a test plot and says he liked the looks of it in his field. It was very green and had a lot of leaves and great standability. Additionally, it was easier to chop than the other corn silage he grew.

Ray Steidle of Cobleskill, N.Y. said his dairy feed bill has decreased about 10 percent because of NutriDense® Silage. He also noticed that the components in the milk improved and that the kernels went through the chopper better. He has been growing NutriDense Silage for five years, and he says he’s been nothing but pleased with it.

Tim Padja, farm manager at SUNY Cobleskill, said he witnessed everything he had heard about NutriDense® Silage to be true in his first year planting it. Compared to the other corn silage he planted, the NutriDense Silage was taller, yielded better and had a bigger harvesting window. Everyone who looked at it agreed, he said – this was a good corn stand.

Craig and Kirk Voge of Bertha, Minn. say they started growing NutriDense® Silage hybrids because they were looking for a better-quality corn silage. With NutriDense Silage, they noticed that their harvest improved and that the kernels stayed softer longer and were more digestible for the cows.

Richard Byma of Grant, Mich. says the biggest benefit of feeding NutriDense® Silage is the softer kernel. A corn silage with a softer kernel leads to better digestibility and helps his cows get the most energy out of the corn. As a result, Byma says his nutritionist has commented on his comparatively low feed costs.
