Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Forage maize had the highest crude protein content among the maize types tested.
- Observation Forage maize had higher in-vitro dry matter digestibility than the other maize types.
- Observation Forage maize had the lowest dry matter, ADF and ADL content among the maize types tested.
- Observation The baby corn hybrid HM-4 was almost at par with fodder maize in forage quality.
- Observation Forage quality of DHM-117 (normal maize) and HQPM-5 was comparable to fodder maize.
- Intervention effect Silage of the sweet corn variety HSC-1 had better nutritional quality than its green fodder.
- Intervention effect Silage showed a small loss of nutrients compared with green forage.
- Intervention effect Silage significantly improved the digestibility of the forage compared with green forage.
- Association Crude protein was positively related to IVDMD in the maize forage.
- Recommendation Specialty maize is a nutritious fodder whose silage could reduce the green fodder deficit in India.
