What would an increase in silage quality mean to you?

Silage is the most important conserved forage on the farm. Making the most of your silage quality has a huge effect on your farm's profitability.

Increasing silage quality will improve forage quality, boost production, reduce waste and take control of costs.

Silage inoculant can preserve the nutritional value of silage and minimise waste through spoilage.

The controlled microbial fermentation of forages helps to preserve their nutritional value all year round.

There are two critical points in silage management when trying to achieve optimal silage quality:

1. At the time of ensiling, the main objective is to achieve rapid acidification for maximum recovery of nutrients and minimal dry matter losses.
2. At feed out, the challenge is to ensure good aerobic stability to minimise nutrient and dry matter losses through heating and limit the growth of spoilage micro-organisms, such as yeasts and moulds.

Magniva has developed a range of silage additives to address the specific challenges faced in each crop at ensiling.

By choosing the right additive, silage producers can ensure optimal preservation of dry matter and the nutritional value of their silage crops from the field to feed out, optimising performance and animal efficiency.

If you can increase the ME of your silage by 1 MJ, this can produce up to 4L extra of milk, depending on the feeding rate.

Pre-cut testing, harvesting, and storage are all essential links in the chain to your forage system.
