Brown mid-rib(BMR) corn has a lower lignin content than other silage corn varieties, and many growers are interested in this type of corn for its higher digestibility and potential to yield more milk than conventional silage corn. With BMR's high fiber digestibility it may help increase dry matter intake of forage and may reduce purchase of concentrates. 11, record 1, English, - brown%20midrib%20corn

Only with a 1 : 3 grain-to-milk ratio did good quality pasture provide adequate pasture intake at 80 pounds of milk.... Holsteins producing more than 60 pounds of milk with good quality pasture should be supplemented with 1 pound of grain per 4 pounds of milk, with the amount of concentrate varied with milk production and body condition. Generally, 12 pounds to 20 pounds of concentrate are fed to cows when pasture is their sole forage source. 1, record 4, English, - grain%2Dto%2Dmilk%20ratio
