| Hi moisture corn is good,,,,silage,,,I was told by experts once, is the most expensive feed you can have. Or feed. Lots of guys feed that tho,but think about it,definitely so. Great for backgrounding and growing tho. As a feed additive, cant think of WHY,,but let your own milage determine same. Alfalfa haylage is GOOD. and in my opinion is a great high protein hay source. It can probably replace some of the purchased protein. My experience with soy hulls (my only experience) is even soy hulls it leads to 'BLOAT". ONLY way to avoid bloat with soy hulls,feed them soaking wet in water,no experience with soy meal or roasted soys. NO experience with wet or dry distillers either.
To make a long story short,with your ingredients,,,better hire a big fancy place to calculate that on a puter program,,,I have seen those programs but never owned one.
But if it was me I would save the silage for cows or colored cattle backgrounding/growing,,,sell the soys in the high market today. and combine hi moisture corn and dry shell corn, with the haylage(alfalfa only), feed a bovatec pellet and call it a day,,,maybe minor tweaking as conditions allow. Not too much haylage tho,keep in mind moisture but about same as 4-5# of dry hay,kinda sorta. I never had much high moisture corn,,,can you feed this straight or does it HAVE to be limited?? How high moisture?? Around 20-22% (blended)sounds ideal to ME,,,again your milage may vary!!! | |
