Improving corn silage feeding value for heifers

With a simple strategy of ensiling that replaces a standard common sealing system, researchers from the State University of Maringá in Brazil have realised improved silage conservation and performance feeding value of growing dairy heifers. Although the effects of better sealing on silage composition have been extensively reported, there is little information on possible benefits to silage intake and animal performance. In the current study, researchers found that improving the ensiling proc
