Take care when feeding drought-stressed forages

Experts at Texas A&M University remind you that drought-stressed corn is highly variable, which means its dry matter content within the pile, and when fed, also fluctuates. If your silage corn was drought-stressed, they suggest you frequently test for moisture content, starch content, NDF digestibility and nitrates. This allows you to better formulate rations for highproducing dairy cows.
