No Vitamin A Deficiency From Corn Silage Fed Calves
ARS tests show calves fed corn silage with high concentrate can grow normally without vitamin A deficiency. Carotene in corn silage converts to vitamin A as efficiently as alfalfa, with nitrates having no adverse effect on this conversion. In calves, carotene and vitamin A rise in blood plasma while liver stores stay steady, though two groups with less corn silage gained slower.
