funny that

perhaps these differences only occur when witnessed by people a long

Then to see how much discrimination there is does the beef market note

any
difference between animals fed on maize silage vs grass silage?


In UK maize is more likely to be fed to beef animals as gluten than

silage,
maize silage is more likely to be used for high yielding dairy cows

where
any problems would be noticed pretty well instantly


Then how about milk differences between grass-silage and corn-silage fed
cows? Taste and keeping/nutritional qualities?


by the time milk has been pasturised, homogenised, standardised, you haven't
a cat in hells chance of telling.
Bigger difference between grass and silage, spring and winter than there is
between various winter feeds. Remember that the nutrition of a high
yielding dairy cow is a serious matter and carefully monitored.
