T I ANHYDROUS AMMONIA j
1. ADD ANHYDROUS AMMONIA
TO CORN SILAGE
Ammonia is an excellent NPN source for use with
Corn Silage. The NPN protein generated will cost
you about 6V2* per pound of protein. The addition
of ammonia will NOT increase the nitrate level of
finished silage. Some of the advantages are:
• Feeds well to BEEF or DAIRY
• Has excellent palatabililty
• Greatly reduces feed costs.
• OK in upright or bunker silos
• Producers milk or beef efficiently
