Considering corn hybrids grown in Brazil are primarily
flint-endosperm cultivars(Correa et al 2002), rehydration and ensiling of dry corn has been used for increasing starch digestibly, as an alternative to other corn processing such as HMC.
Additionally, processing of HMC has been limited by machinery availability and excessive rainfall during the corn har vest period, which could delay com harvest. Delayed harvest, and the corresponding increase of DM content of corn may impair the ensiling process fo HMC and reduce ivSD(Ferraretto et al. 2014)
