Grass Silage Analysis

Leaving the feeding of your livestock to chance, will only lead to disaster... so what can you do to inform nutritional decisions? This insight publication explores the importance of analysing silage, when and how to analyse, and how to interpret analysis results.

Getting the most from silage over winter will allow purchased feed use to be optimised and potentially allow cost savings to be made. Matching the dietary nutrient supply with that of the animals’ requirements is crucial in maintaining production. Failure to do this will reduce production efficiency, compromise health and fertility, and profitability. Analysing silage is a crucial factor in this process as silage is the most variable component of the diet.
