Varieties in corn or Promaize Silage means the type of corn used to make the Silage. Well, that came as a surprise to you. Corn is available in various styles, and the type you choose will affect the multiple characteristics such as taste and smell. Thus choosing a suitable variety is crucial for the success of your farm in offering an adequate amount of forage and optimizing milk yield. A few factors are key when making the correct type of Corn Silage for Sale, and in this blog, we, as Silage Agro Private Limited, will discuss all that with you.

Corn silage trials: These trials are done in various locations, and results are noted based on how well the Silage is performed on the soil. Its quality is determined. It also decides whether the crop will do well on your farm.

Type of variety

Next comes the various types of corn itself. Let’s, at Silage Agro Private Limited, describe these below.

Brown mid-rib: This corn variety, also known as BMR, has lower levels of lignin in the stalks and leaves of the plant. This chemical is indigestible, giving it negative points on digestibility and intake. Furthermore, it has a reputation for lousy standability and lower milk yields. However, you can still use it if:

• You have extra acreage needed for silage production.
• Higher producing cows, producing more than 75 lbs of milk.
• Use it in summertime feeding, when intake may decrease.
• You can use it with conventional corn varieties.

Conventional field corn: These varieties give higher milk yield and digestibility. BMR corn has anywhere between 5 and 20% milk yield. However, non-BMR or traditional types give higher milk yield and milk per acre values when compared with BMR corns.

Leafy: It is the most visually appealing corn plant for producers, offering a higher milk yield. However, green corns have a lower nutrient content than conventional and BMR corn, with a fiber digestibility similar to non-BMR and traditional grains.

• Green corns also have 10-15% less grain content.
• Leafy varieties have twice the leaves and can have a large harvest window.
• It also makes up about 15% of the silage market.

Standability: It defines the strength of the crop as to how much weather it can withstand.
