Silage value depends on dry matter and grain in sorghum
Kansas State University dairy scientist Dr. George Ward explains that sorghum silage value hinges on dry matter percentage and grain proportion, influenced by grain amount stage of maturity and soil moisture. Tests compare seedless silage with rolled and whole grain, show rolled grain boosts intake and gains in steers, while whole grain is less effective. Dairy cows show poorer digestibility, and 30 to 35 percent dry matter silage supports efficient production. Additional notes cover grain fumigation and storage, including sampling, uniform fumigant distribution, equipment, and rates based on storage conditions.
