The Corn Feed

With the dairy industry facing economic constraints, producers are looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing milk production. One place to look is feed — when feed efficiency increases, producers are able to get the same milk with less feed.

That’s why NutriDense was excited to see the results of a recent feed efficiency study performed by Dr. Larry Chase, professor and dairy nutrition extension specialist at Cornell University. Dr. Chase revealed results that found NutriDense Silage to be six to eight percent better in feed efficiency, or converting feed to milk, than other high-quality corn silage in the study.

These findings were featured in a recent Progressive Dairyman article titled “Improve feed efficiency, increase profitability by selecting high-quality corn silage hybrids.” To learn more about the study and how NutriDense stacked up against other hybrids, check out the findings in the magazine’s July 1 edition or online.
