It is easy to underestimate how much milk can come from maize, but it’s also easy to underestimate the losses in its feed value that can occur during storage. Find out what you can do to minimise losses today!
Livestock farmers who experience common grass silage problems of heating, clamp slippage and mycotoxins, should reassess silage-making techniques.
With potentially £35,000-£40,000 (€41,000-€47,000) worth of silage in a 1,000 tonne clamp, isn’t it worth giving it the best possible preservation?
Ensuring grass is cut at the right time to achieve the desired silage quality is paramount and leaving it late will result in a reduction in sugars, protein and digestibility.
