Making strategic decisions around moisture content, weather conditions and equipment performance not only helps protect forage value and animal performance but also supports better outcomes across the entire operation.

We’ve all seen it. Top-layer spoilage – a rind of discolored, decomposing feed often laden with yeasts, molds and mycotoxins on the top of your silage bunker or pile.

The economic impact of high-quality corn silage is often underestimated. A corn silage harvest with excellent starch availability, exceptional fibre digestibility and ideal fermentation profiles can mean milk production and components come easily while maximizing forage in the diet.

Effective management, including the use of proven inoculants to manage the ensiling process at the microbiological level, safeguards your investment, maximizes time and resources, and is critical for optimizing your bottom line.

Harvest timing, length of cut and correct packing are all key to high-quality forage production in 2024. It all begins with a quality first cutting.

A total mixed ration (TMR) diet has long been used to consistently offer a high-quality mix to ruminants. It allows farms to incorporate almost any ingredient into the diet consistently, safely removing much of the variation from one mouthful to the next.

Producers across the U.S. experienced a wet and rainy chopping season for small-grain silage and haylage.

Qui aurait cru que les pets de vaches seraient un jour au cœur de la controverse et des critiques visant l'industrie du bétail?

Corn silage harvest is complete for another year. As is often the case, silage inventory from last year’s harvest is running really low, and you are likely anxious to open a recently filled storage structure to start feeding it to your lactating cows.
