[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7377087, member: 86168"] rationing is changing all the time, new ideas, always the best though, are coming out, mainly from feed firms. But there does seem research for lower protien in rations, maize which is high energy, has to be balanced with protien, what we need is an easy protien to 'top up' rations. More and more research will go into higher protien forages. It's quite possible to get silages above 15% protien, then we throw maize on top, and drop the total protien of the crop. But maize is about the cheapest energy source you can grow, mixing the two............ However, maize has problems, the biggest, but least recognised, is it's not a natural feed for ruminants, but we work around this, basically buying in the 'balancer' - protien. Friends son works for lely robots, and he say's loads of high yielding herds not on maize, the second problem, its hell to soil structure, when grown in the wrong places. Another enigma. [/QUOTE]
