Corn silage is king when it comes to dairy cattle rations. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, the U.S. produced more than 108 million tons of corn silage in 2011.
Unfortunately, a large portion of this silage is lost to shrink year after year.
Industry estimates suggest about 20 percent of the corn silage ensiled each year is lost.
This loss in feed comes at a very steep price: approximately $1.3 billion of the 2011 corn silage is expected to be lost to shrink.
