Growing Maize at Glendhu Dairies

Maize silage is proven to be one of the best cow conditioners farmers have available. Feeding maize silage at the end of lactation means more days in milk and better cow condition the subsequent calving.

Among the most significant reasons to grow maize is its ability to reduce nitrogen leaching. Maize, with its deep-rooting structure, removes excessive soil nutrients which have dropped out of the root zone of shallow-rooted pasture species.

We are excited to be able to have this feed option available and are sure our cows are going to enjoy this nutritious addition to their feed ration provided in the free stall barns.
