Learn about the principles and benefits of producing high-quality silage at Bodysgaw Isa, home to an autumn calving herd in Denbighshire.
High-quality silage is key to any dairy cows’ ability to milk and perform well throughout the year. Offering flexibility when grazing conditions are adverse, good quality, high digestible and high energy silage, made early in the season can be your best insurance policy against poor weather. It reduces your requirement for purchased concentrate feed, boosting milk solids and overall yields from homegrown forage.
In this session, you will hear about the practicalities, key processes, and targets in producing high-quality silage for your cows and youngstock with the support of Dave Davies, of Silage Solutions.
