Fermented Whole Plant Corn Silage is a high-moisture forage preserved through anaerobic fermentation, utilizing the entire corn plant—stalks, leaves, husks, cobs, and grain. This product is widely adopted in ruminant nutrition for its high energy density, palatability, and cost-effectiveness. The ensiling process locks in nutrients and creates a stable feed that can be stored for extended periods without significant quality loss. At Yiman, we have refined the production of fermented whole plant corn silage with rigorous quality controls, advanced inoculant application, and optimized harvest timing to deliver consistent feeding value. Our Fermented Whole Plant Corn Silage series includes products such as Long Shelf Life Corn Silage, High Quality Fermented Corn Silage, etc.
Corn silage production can be part of a sustainable farming system. The whole plant harvest captures more carbon per acre than grain-only harvest, and the manure from animals fed the silage returns nutrients to the land. Yiman encourages double cropping and cover crop adoption following corn silage harvest to reduce soil erosion and capture residual nitrogen. Also, the high digestibility of our silage results in lower fecal starch output, meaning fewer undigested nutrients entering the manure stream. All our production facilities comply with environmental regulations for effluent capture from silage storage, preventing runoff into waterways.
Some farms require a specialized silage product. Yiman offers variations: high-cut corn silage that leaves a taller stubble in the field, boosting starch content to over 38% but reducing NDF to 35%—ideal for high-producing cow groups needing maximum energy density. We also provide high-fiber fermented whole plant corn silage for fresh cow and transition diets, harvested slightly earlier at 30%–32% DM with less grain fill. These custom products are negotiated before planting season and managed through segregated storage at our facility or on-farm bunkers.
Farmers interested in Yiman fermented whole plant corn silage can contact our regional representatives who will assess forage needs, calculate volumes based on herd size and feeding rate, and coordinate logistics. We strongly recommend a pre-season consultation to lock in hybrid selection and harvest window. Once the order is placed, we provide regular crop progress updates and a predicted harvest date. After delivery, our nutritionists are available to run ration software simulations, conduct on-farm evaluations, and interpret silage analysis reports to maximize production outcomes. Yiman’s support continues through the entire feeding cycle, not just at sale.
By choosing Yiman, producers gain a dependable source of high-energy fermented whole plant corn silage that is manufactured with precision from seed selection through to feedout. The consistent particle size, fermentation profile, and nutrient density translate into predictable animal performance and peace of mind for farm operators managing tight margins.
