Corn silage has become a go-to feed solution for high-performing dairy and beef operations. Known for its energy density and digestibility, it plays a critical role in livestock health, productivity, and profitability. At Barr-Ag Ltd., based in Alberta, Canada, we take pride in producing and exporting premium Corn silage tailored to the needs of producers across North America and emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East.
Why Corn Silage?
Corn silage delivers a potent combination of fiber and readily available starch, which is an ideal balance to fuel lactation and support weight gain in beef cattle. It’s particularly valuable for dairy herds, helping to sustain milk production and boost overall feed efficiency.
Its palatability promotes consistent intake, while the high-energy profile reduces the need for costly supplemental feeds. In high-performing herds, Corn silage can lead to measurable improvements in milk yield, and animal condition.
The Silage Process
Corn plants are harvested at peak nutritional value, typically around 68 to 60 percent moisture. The corn is then packed into a pit and covered to begin the fermentation process, which naturally preserves the forage by enhancing digestibility and locking in nutrients.
At Barr-Ag, precision is key: from harvest timing to chop length and bale compaction, every step is closely managed to ensure optimal quality. After a minimum fermentation period of 90 days, the silage is dried in our dehydration facility and pressed into convenient mini bales or sleeve bales, ready for shipment to customers worldwide.
Barr-Ag’s Packaging and Export Capabilities
With decades of experience in compressed forage export, Barr-Ag offers Corn silage in various bale formats for efficient shipping and storage:
