Maize silage is made out of whole ensiled maize plants. It is one of the most valuable forages for ruminant livestock and it is used wherever maize can grow, from temperate regions to the tropics. The popularity of maize silage is due to several factors. It is a consistent source of palatable and high-energy forage for all classes of ruminants, including dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats etc. It is one of the most high-yielding forage crops, requires less labour (since it is harvested in a single operation) and is generally less costly to produce than other forage crops. Maize silage is also a good way to secure the crops as it is possible to turn a maize grain crop damaged by frost, rain or drought into maize silage. Though relatively easy to produce, maize silage requires good crop and harvest management as well as careful ensiling practice
