Up to 25% of the energy of silage is found in the fermentation acids. ... Increasing energy intake of high capacity cows, from 134 to 174 MJ per cow per day by feeding more concentrate, increases milk production from 32.2 to 34.8 when organic matter digestibility of silage is 75.

Does silage affect milk quality?

Corn silage enhances quality milk production due to high digestibility, ease of handling, and palatability. However, Jordan (2015) found no significant difference in dry matter intake, milk yield or milk composition of corn silage and sorghum silage fed to 48 mid-lactation cows.
