Benefits of better silage

  • One of the most cost-effective ways to feed cows

  • Reduced reliance on bought-in feed from feeding wholesome, home-produced forage

  • Improved returns from one of your farm’s main assets – your grass

  • ‘Hidden’ benefits from a more forage-based diet – e.g. improved cow fertility and cow health (e.g. less acidosis) and lower vet bills

To illustrate the value of producing more milk from silage, it has been calculated that by improving your digestibility of your silage by 3D value has the ability to save 1.5kg/concentrate per day per cow.
