Abstract

It has been estimated that dairies can lose up to 35% of their corn silage either as a run-off, volatile organic compounds or as feed wasted. These losses could be minimized with good management practices at harvesting, ensiling, and feeding out. The aim of this study was to obtain information on current management practices when feeding corn silage in California's Central Valley dairies.
