Silage May Replace Much Grain in Dairy Rations
Ohio agricultural station tests show silage can substitute for most of dairy cows dry matter. Ten cows fed silage produced 60.6 pounds milk and 5.08 butter fat per hundred pounds dry matter, vs 81.3 pounds milk and 3.8 butter fat for grain. Feed cost per hundred pounds milk was 0.687 with silage versus 1.055 with grain. Net monthly profit per cow averaged 5.804 dollars with silage and 2.665 with grain. Cows on silage lost 28% milk gain but gained weight, while grain rats gained 57 pounds on average. The study supports substituting silage for a large portion of grain and suggests growing protein rich feeds to further cut grain use.
