After an introduction on the benefits of corn silage as a forage for dairy cows, this bulletin reviews methods used to add non-protein nitrogen in order to boost the silage protein content. These methods include applying anhydrous ammonia to the silage, applying feed grade urea, using liquid nitrogen products, and using commercial liquid non-protein nitrogen products. The appendix contains sample calculations for evaluating feed value.
