Introducing Silage Select

VT2P = ; RR2 =
Silage Select corn hybrids are high yielding , high quality and highly digestible corn silage hybrids evaluated and selected by Nutrien Ag Solutions . These silage hybrids are rated for each component , and only the highest cumulative scores obtain the Silage Select designation .
• Yield : Net tons of silage converted to 35 % dry matter
• Starch Content : A measure of energy contained in forage
• Starch Digestibility : Percentage of starch used by the animal
• Fiber Digestibility : A low NDF and high digestibility is desirable
• Milk ( Beef ) per Ton : Predictor of milk ( beef ) production per ton of dry matter
