Ener-Feast I
Ener-Feast I was the first Ciba Seeds
hybrid recommended for premium silage.
It offers high digestible energy and
increased palatability over the more
commonly used grain hybrids as well as
less teed waste and excellent silage yields.
The result - more milk per cow and an
improvement in your operation's
profitability.
