High moisture corn ensiled with urea

Heidker, J.; Bolsen, K.; Hinds, M.; Ilg, H.; Janicki, B.; Young, B.
High moisture corn harvested at 18 and 26% moisture, rolled, treated with

0, .75, 1.5, or 2.25% urea (DM basis), and ensiled was evaluated for fermentation

rate, chemical composition, and aerobic stability. Adding urea to 26% moisture

corn increased the rate and extent of fermentation as measured by lactic, acetic,

and total acid concentrations. Only a very limited fermentation occurred in the

18% moisture corn. No statistically significant differences were noted in DM loss

or aerobic stability among the eight corn treatments.
