Premium Corn Silage for Dairy & Beef Animals

Introduction to Corn Silage

Corn silage is one of the most widely used forages in modern livestock systems. It is made by harvesting whole maize plants at the milk-dough stage and fermenting them under anaerobic conditions. This process preserves nutrients, increases digestibility, and provides a year-round supply of high-energy feed. For Gulf countries and international buyers, corn silage is essential for supporting dairy and meat industries where fresh forage is scarce.

Importance of Corn Silage in Animal Nutrition

Corn silage is considered the “gold standard” of silage because:

• High Energy: Provides digestible starch for milk yield and weight gain.

• Balanced Fiber: Supports rumen health and prevents digestive issues.

• Palatable: Animals readily consume it, increasing feed intake.

• Consistent Supply: Ensures year-round feeding solutions.

Demand in Gulf and International Markets

• UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain import large volumes of corn silage to sustain dairy farms, camel breeders, and feedlots.

• Growing demand is driven by expanding dairy and beef industries and the lack of local forage production due to desert climates.

• International buyers in Africa and Asia also seek corn silage to stabilize feed costs and improve livestock productivity.

Nutritional Value of Corn Silage

• Dry matter: 30–35%

• Crude protein: 7–9%

• Starch: 25–35%

• Digestible energy: 6–7 MJ/kg DM

• NDF (fiber): 35–45%

This makes corn silage a unique combination of energy and fiber, especially suited for high-yielding dairy cows and finishing cattle.

Applications in Livestock Feeding

• Dairy Cows & Buffaloes: Increases milk yield and fat content.

• Beef Cattle: Promotes rapid weight gain and carcass quality.

• Camels: Provides a balanced diet supplement in desert regions.

• Sheep & Goats: Improves body condition and reproductive performance.

Quality Standards and Export Requirements

• Silage must be well-fermented (pH 3.8–4.2) with no mold or spoilage.

• Moisture content must be controlled to avoid nutrient loss.

• Complies with Gulf feed import standards and veterinary checks.

• Vacuum-packed or bagged silage improves shelf-life and export quality.

Packaging and Shipping Options
