ANIMAL FEEDING CHARACTERISTICS
A silage corn variety with high yield and very high quality values.
Due to the high number of grains on the cob, grain visibility in silage is very high.
Under ideal conditions, silage has a crude protein content of around 9%, and its starch value exceeds 30% at harvest.*
A high starch content in silage increases milk yield.
This may vary depending on region, ecology, and management conditions.
