Maize fodder (green) is comes under the grade in quality

Maize fodder (green) comes under poor grade in quality.
Maize green forage has a relatively low protein content (3 - 13% of DM) and a high fibre content (crude fibre 19 - 36% of DM).
Depending on the stage of harvesting, it can be rich in starch (up to 30% of DM or more) and, therefore, a source of energy.
