The dairy industry has long championed brown midrib corn as the gold standard for forage quality—until now. This episode shatters that assumption with groundbreaking research revealing how short-stature corn hybrids, carrying the brachytic2 mutation, deliver superior standability, feed intake, and milk production without sacrificing digestibility. Join us to explore data that challenges decades of convention and unlocks new paths to profitability and sustainability.
Key Takeaways:
- Why the brown midrib (bm3) corn legend may not hold across all dairy production systems
- How the brachytic2 (br2) gene confers structural advantages boosting feed intake and milk yields
- Latest findings on nutrient digestibility differences among traditional, bm3, and short-stature corn silages
- Strategies to tailor ...
