	Corn Maturity and Ensiling Corn
		When weather and growing conditions alter the rate of physiological maturity and require the harvesting of immature corn silage, the yield of dry matter per acre decreases and the energy levels of the resulting silage are lowered.
		This is because as the plant matures the grain content increases and therefore the energy value of the grain and ear are increased, at the same time the digestibility of the stalk and leaves is decreased due to the lignification of these plant parts.
		While corn silage maturity may influence animal performance by affecting feed intake because of palatability, the digestibility of the resulting corn silage is not changed drastically until the corn plant becomes mature past the full dent stage.

		Because maturity is dependent only on the time-temperature history of the concrete, the most basic equipment requirements for determining maturity are a temperature probe and a clock.
		Maturity measurements are taken at regular intervals, and the maturity of the concrete is monitored.
