Drought silage from corn with few ears has lower digestible protein and total digestible nutrients than well matured corn. Voelker says to adjust grain based on silage quality. 40 pounds of silage from good corn yields about 0.6 pounds protein and 8.2 pounds TDN daily, while immature corn yields less protein and fewer nutrients.
The note explains adjusting grain concentrate and silage intake to meet 40 pounds per day of silage. If silage intake is low, add more than 16 pounds protein and 17 pounds TDN via grain. If silage reaches 40 pounds, add 2 pounds grain to compensate nutrient gap.
