Which Corn Silage Hybrid is Best for You?
Acorn hybrid that's best
For grain yield may not
be the hybrid that produces
the best silage for livestock,
.according to research con
ducted by Cargill.
For example, dairy cows
neqd corn silage hybrids that
can provide a high percentage
of digestible fiber to help
achieve top milk production
and milk test. Beef cattle on
a fattening program need a
daily ration with a high energy
density for fast weight gain.

The Corn Silage Menu was
developed to help you select
hybrids based on your livestock
needs. We have evaluated our
hybrids and identified those that
tested highest in key silage traits.
Use the Menu to make corn silage
decisions.
Grain Yield rates hybrids
on their grain production ability,
adjusted to 15.5 percent moisture
within a maturity range. Compare
these ratings with silage tonnage
and whole plant quality ratings
and you will see differences.

Silage Tonnage rates
hybrids on their ability to
consistently produce high
tonnage yields within their
maturity range. Results of
on-farm and research plots
(80+ locations 1988-89)
were summarized and
corrected to 70 percent
moisture. This enables us
to analyze hybrids for silage
tonnage in the same manner
we do for grain yield.
The following whole
plant quality characteristics
are important.
Digestibility rates whole
plant digestion and energy
density. This is an accurate
indication of a hybrid's total
energy potential.
intake Potential rates
the fiber digestibility, a factor
that affects potential intake of
*0 ration. This is essential for
top milk production.
• Crude Protein rates the
content of the whole plant to
contribute crude protein to a
ration
