Enogen Feed corn silage delivers significantly higher feeding efficiency than regular corn silo, according to a recently published study from the University of Pennsylvania.
Direct speech: “This study confirms that the dairy producers who grow it for their operations already know that a simple switch to Enogen Feed can help increase the value of feed silage in the diet,” said Dwayne Martin, Ph.D., Head of Marketing Enogen., Syngenta.
The key to Enogen Feed is the unique sowing alpha-amylase technology that converts starch to healthy sugars faster than other maize, helping maximize energy. Dairy cattle can more fully utilize starch in grain or Enogen Feed silage, which can increase efficiency and significantly reduce feed costs for producers.
Corn is almost never found in the wild, as it can not germinate from a whole ears of corn, but only from individual grains.
Direct Speech: “Pennsylvania data also confirms the results of extensive research at several universities and commercial trials. On average, we found that Enogen Feed corn fed as grain or silage can increase feeding efficiency by about 5% compared to corn without the Enogen sign, ”says Eileen Watson, Enogen Development Specialist, Syngenta.
Golden Harvest and Syngenta are striving to accelerate innovation by investing in technologies that are important to deliver positive, sustainable change for more sustainable agriculture.
In addition to benefits for dairy producers, Enogen Feed hybrids also provide high yield in the field. Combining proven genetics with leading traits, hybrids invariably produce results equal to or superior to non-Enogen hybrids.
