Corn silage is quickly becoming an economical and viable feedstuff for sheep as grain prices continue to rise and sheep flocks are becoming larger and more mechanized. Corn silage is unique due to rapid harvesting ability, low-cost storage and high yields of forage per hectare. It is a high-energy feed with a grain content of 40% or more. OMAFRA’s new factsheet Feeding Corn Silage to Sheep
explains how with proper equipment, management and ration formulation, corn silage can be effectively fed to both the ewe flock and market lambs.
