Silage

Total Ration Solutions
Meeting your needs for feeding and in the field . . .

As a dairy farmer today your goal is focused on using high quality feed to produce more milk
from the feed grown on your farm. As a beef producer the goal is similar, to produce more
meat per acre from the feed produced and fed.

At Pride Seeds, our understanding of your nutritional needs has lead to the development
of Total Ration Solutions, a product and information program designed to meet your energy,
digestibility and protein needs through the lifecycle of your herd investment.

"Good corn silage is the most important part of a cow's overall performance.
High energy, high protein and high digestibility are points key to balancing the diet
in order to produce more milk. Together with high yields, this gives me more milk
per acre. We include Pride hybrids in our silage program. The feed is only as good
as the seed you put in the ground." Steve Wittmer, Steveleigh Holsteins, Hickson, ON

"I believe Pride is in the right direction in reaching their goal to produce the most efficient
corn silage varieties which in turn give you (the producer) the most digestible energy and
fibre hybrids to maximize milk production." Darryl Smith - Dairy Nutritionist - Ridgetown, ON

Choosing a Silage Hybrid (view brochure)

Effective Digestible Fibre or EDF Hybrids
These corn hybrids are specifically selected and suited to dairy silage rations and feature:

Top end silage yield potential
High leaf to stalk ratio with soft kernels for improved palatability
High ratio of effective digestible fibre for improved start digestibility
The result is excellent ADF and NDF scores and improved feeding efficiency

A4979 EDF	2350-2575		*Top end yields for early silage with excellent digestible NDF scores* *Excellent silage companion for A4741HM* *Excellent rating for palatability*
A5490RR EDF	2600-2800		*Top end yielding Roundup Ready silage hybrid* Very high digestibility and palatability scores with high digestible NDF

Effective Dual Purpose or EDP Hybrids
These hybrids are selected to meet the needs of dairy and beef rations that require
high energy corn silage with high digestibility characteristics.

Hybrids feature

Excellent yield potential with top scores for energy quality, energy per acre and silage
or grain quality
Low ADF and NDF scores for improved digestibility and intake
Good digestibility for high milk production or beef weight gain
Flexibility for silage or grain uses in your operation
