Maize whole-crop silage has high energy concentration while having a low protein concentration.  It is harvested when grain is in the late dough stage.  Barley, oats, wheat, and triticale are also used for whole-crop cereal silage either as monocultures or mixed with legumes (e.g. peas) to improve protein content.  They are also high in energy while low in protein.  Whole-crop cereal silages are fed as sole forage or mixed with grass silage.
