The effect of maize cutting height on cows

By increasing the maize cutting height to 30-40 cm compared to the classic height of 15 cm could lead to forage with a higher dry matter digestibility. This can be beneficial for feeding high producing cows. The forage team of ARVALIS-Institut du végétal, a French applied research Institute, studied the maize cutting height and its effect on digestibility in further detail. Such information is useful for dairy farmers and maize breeders to optimise the application of the crop even further. In
