Wouldn't be without it. Do you think if you see corn in the manures they are actually getting the energy out of that corn? If the kernels aren't cracked or broken in half the bugs can't penetrate the endosperm on the kernel so inturn is not digested and goes out the back end. There is a whole long process that if the corn doesn't get broken down in the rumen can cause other problems but I won't bore you with that. To me it just makes your silage more efficient does it mean you don't have to use any more corn, Heck No, but I think you use less corn. We dairy here and wouldn't be without it and also backround our steers.
