Pioneer Seeds is sharpening its focus on silage, appointing a dedicated dairy specialist team and a suite of new resources aimed at supporting Australian dairy producers in maximising feed quality and farm performance.
This renewed commitment was on full display at the recent Appetite for Success events held across key dairying regions.
These interactive sessions brought together producers, nutritionists and agronomists to explore best practices in silage management, maize hybrid selection, and feed conversion efficiency.
As the keynote speaker, Pioneer Global nutritional sciences manager Dr Bill Mahanna shared the latest research on silage quality, maize hybrid and silage inoculant advancements, and practical strategies for improving milk production through better feed management.
The events also served as a launchpad for Pioneer’s newly appointed dairy specialist team — experts who will work closely with farmers to tailor hybrid choices and silage feeding strategies to local conditions.
Accompanying this initiative is the release of the Ten Great Reasons to Feed Maize Silage booklet, a practical guide that outlines the agronomic and nutritional advantages of maize.
From its high starch content and digestibility to its role in boosting milk production and herd health, the booklet makes a compelling case for maize silage as a cornerstone of modern dairy feeding systems.
These developments reflect Pioneer’s deepening investment in silage innovation and its commitment to supporting the evolving needs of the dairy sector.
With 50 years in Australia behind it, Pioneer continues to deliver corn and forage hybrids and support that helps producers meet the challenges of today’s farming environment.
