Corn silage is a type of animal feed made from whole corn plants, including the stalks, leaves, and ears. The corn is harvested at a specific stage of maturity, chopped into small pieces, and then fermented in a silo or pit. This fermentation process preserves the nutrients and enhances the digestibility of the feed. Farmers often use corn silage to feed dairy cattle and other livestock, as it provides a high-energy source. It is particularly valuable in regions where growing conditions for corn are favorable, allowing for efficient production of this nutritious feed.
