Corn silage management tips,
livestock nutrition information, silage additives and alfalfa
hybrid selection are among the valuable updates on cutting-edge
topics featured in upcoming Pioneer Forage Forum podcasts and
blogs. Originated by Pioneer
Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, these segments provide
information from dairy feed studies at the Pioneer Livestock
Nutrition Center, as well as from university research.
In the months to come, topics include choosing the right alfalfa
traits, the biology of hay, moldy silage, nutrition and heat
stress and others. The spring introductory segment comes from
Dr. Bill Mahanna, coordinator of global nutritional sciences for
Pioneer.
"No other seed company has the range and depth in forage
research and nutritional information," says Mahanna. "Not only
does Pioneer have trained experts throughout North America who
work with dairymen in their operations, but the company has a
network of researchers around the globe who exchange information
on the latest nutritional information on issues that matter
today. The Pioneer Forage Forum is an opportunity to share
technical forage expertise."
Pioneer Forage Forum segments are presented as audio files, each
approximately 3 minutes long. Blogs and podcasts can be accessed
at
www.worlddairydiary.com, where fresh topics are posted every
two weeks. In addition, registered Pioneer customers can hear
these audio files and send e-mail responses at
www.pioneer.com/growingpoint by clicking on "Livestock
Nutrition." The podcast is found under the header Pioneer Forage
Forum by clicking on Forage Blog.
Both sites also archive the original 28 segments of Pioneer
Forage Forum. Previous segments cover subjects related to silage
harvesting and processing, crop value, and analysis and
planning.
