One of the exhibitors at this week’s World Dairy Expo, and one of the sponsors of our coverage this year, is BASF Plant Science’s NutriDense.

Jerry Weigel, with BASF Plant Sciences global nutrition and tech services, says NutriDense is a nutritionally-enhanced corn that contains a stacked set of output traits that enhance animal feed performance.

“Instead of going in and simply increasing the amount of starch, we’ve tried to improve all the constituents of corn silage, in particular the digestibility,” said Weigel.

Weigel says they will be providing information about NutriDense to dairy producers who visit their booth at World Dairy Expo and having a little fun with it as well. “We’ll be offering a quiz on their knowledge of ag trivia and NutriDense with the chance to win a free cheese sandwich and a milk shake at the Badger Dairy Club Cheese Stand.”

In addition, Weigel says they are having an “Ag Bag” promotion. “The dairymen have an opportunity to get a free “Ag Bag” with the purchase of 20 bags of NutriDense for silage and if they register by December 15 they also receive a free all-weather jacket.” Producers can register for the promotion at the booth.

BASF Plant Science is also a sponsor of the World Dairy Expo Virtual Farm Tours this year. They will be sponsoring the tour on October 6 of Double Dutch Dairy in Shelby, NE.
