2 OSEVA, a. s., leading Czech seed company proudly introduce to you a brand new maize seed catalogue composed of hybrids in the FAO range Our assortment offers the maize hybrids aiming on bringing success to all farmers, growers who are looking for proven and reliable partner to reaching their target across the growing areas. These varieties are developed and come from the following breeding stations CEZEA Breeding station in Čejč, ZEAINVENT TRNAVA, s. r. o. and ZELSEED spol. s. r. o. TOP SILAGE The TOP silage brand is intended for hybrids with the highest quality of silage matter that is known for its high digestibility of fibre in the form of neutral detergent fibre (NDF). The variability of NDF maize digestibility amounts to %, meaning it complies with a systematic positive selection of hybrids with high NDF digestibility. Cattle fed with maize silage with higher NDF digestibility will increase intake of dry matter, which leads to better cattle performance. TOP SILAGE HYBRIDS COMPLY WITH THESE INDICATORS: Monitoring silage matter quality minimum for 3 years. Hybrids showed the best results of NDF digestibility, excellent yield and nutritious indicators during monitoring. Entire monitoring was carried out on live animals and results were evaluated by an independent laboratory. ADVANTAGES YOU CAN GET BY GROWING TOP SILAGE HYBRIDS: Increased intake of dry matter (with better NDF digestibility by 1 %, dry matter intake will increase by 0.18 kg). Increased milk production (with better NDF digestibility by 1 %, a higher intake of dry matter will increase milk production by 0.26 kg FCM). Better milk quality. Better health of cattle. Lower cost of milk production.
