Is silage bad for cows?
No. Silage is one of the more popular feeds to feed cattle. It's like candy to them. And it's good for them too, especially for growing animals that need feeds that are high in energy and protein for them to grow on. Cattle LOVE silage, and no it's not bad for them at all.

What is a good sentence with the word silage in it?

Can you add lime to corn for cows?
Yes, but only in small amounts. Lime is calcium, and is good for cows that are lactating or producing milk.
Do dairy cows have a different diet than normal cows?
Not really. They eat hay, silage and grain just like any other "normal" cow would. But most of their feed is of higher quality because, as milk producers, they produce lots of milk. Good milk comes from good feed.
How is corn good for cattle and hogs?
It is used as a feed, seed and silage. It is also a high-energy feed source necessary for fattening up cattle and hogs for slaughter, since it puts on fat quickly when fed in high amounts.
Can cows survive on corn?
No, cow corn isn't good as far as palatability is concerned (at least for human consumers, not cows: cows will readily eat "cow corn"). It is less better to eat than sweet corn, specifically created by plant breeders to meet the consumer demand for corn and its various derivatived products found on your grocery store's shelves.
Can pigs eat silage?
No, horses should not be fed silage. Silage is a fermented feed stuff and single compartmeted stomaced animals can not digest it properly. Horses fed silage can become very ill, colic and even die. Silage is meant for ruminant animals.
Is corn good for a dairy cow?
It is in a total mixed ration (TMR) and when limit-fed; it is also good since commercial dairy cows are selectively bred so that their energy requirements often exceed the best quality forage they can be fed. Corn must be supplied regularly as a supplement to meet such high energy needs from a lactating dairy cow. However, even the small amount of corn they are fed contribute to subacute acidosis simply because the cows eat a lot and they often pick through their ration to get at the good stuff: the best-tasting, most palatable stuff, which is often the grain portion of their TMR. Generally, though, cows aren't meant to eat corn because they're not naturally suited to consume such grains on a regular basis. However, when you get dairy cows with really high energy needs and are not feed efficient when on pasture due to their genetics, corn is a necessary evil to use to meet their energy requirements.
Cows eat corn and other grains?
AnswerNo. They eat corn because corporations have discovered that they can fatten a cow up much faster and cheaper with corn than with grass (which is their natural food). This means that these corporations can produce a lot more meat, but it also means that the cows won't be as healthy and the meat will be of a lower quality.

Will a corn stalk grow again next year?
No. Corn is an annual grass, no matter where it is grown, not a perennial. Once corn is harvested the stalks will never regrow back into a corn plant. A stalk is dead plant material, just like with any other grass that is grazed or harvested for hay or silage. It is the tillers of a grass plant that are what make it seem like a stalk of grass is growing back, but not the stalk itself. Corn does not have these tillers, not like its wilder cousins or ancestors, which means they are unlikely to grow back again next year.Seeds from corn may grow into corn plants, but they won't be as good nor as vibrant or vigorous as the corn that was deliberately planted.
