A method of enhancing milk production efficiency in dairy cattle that comprises feeding the dairy cattle with a feed ration comprising a corn silage made from a brown midrib/floury 2 corn hybrid. Upon being fed to dairy cows a feed ration comprising brown midrib/floury 2 corn silage provides at least about 4% higher in the amount of milk produced per unit of the feed intake compared to a feed ration comprising non brown midrib corn silage.
