Webinar
Silage losses you can’t see — but definitely pay for
On-demand
Hidden silage losses — from top layer spoilage to mycotoxin contamination — silently reduce the value of your feed and the performance of your herd.
What you don’t see in the bunker (unless you pay close attention) often shows up later: in lower intake, reduced milk yield, health challenges, and even losses in milk processing and cheese yield.
In this webinar, we bring these invisible losses to light and connect the dots between forage hygiene, animal performance, and overall farm profitability.
You will learn how to:
Identify where hidden losses occur across the silage chain
Understand the real cost of spoilage and discarded silage
Recognize the impact of mycotoxins on animals and end products
Take practical steps to improve silage hygiene and protect feed value
Because better silage isn’t just about preservation, it’s about unlocking the full value of what you grow, store, and feed.
All live participants will have a chance to win an exclusive giveaway: one year of free access to the Dairy Nutrition and Management course by Mike Hutjens (valued at €300, available in English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese). Terms and conditions apply.
Let's give your silage the maximum care it deserves. Please share this opportunity with other farmers, nutritionists and veterinarians.
Prof. Antonio Gallo
Antonio Gallo graduated at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC), receiving his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Animal Science. From 2023, he is Full Professor in Animal Nutrition and Feeding at UCSC. His appointment consists of teaching animal nutrition courses and conducting research on dairy cattle nutrition and feed evaluation. Research includes characterization of forages and fibrous co-products for chemical-biological, fermentative and safety aspects, improve feed economic efficiency and nutrient utilization both at dairy or farm levels, modelling dynamic digestion process and improve the feeding storage practices in dairy production systems. His research activity has been characterized by studying effects of ingestion of mycotoxin contaminated feeds on lactating dairy cow performance and health status. He is author of more than 130 peer-reviewed scientific papers, more than 10 book chapters and he has been Invited Speaker in several International meetings around the World. From 2019, he has been included in the World's Top 2% Scientists list of Stanford University (sub-field: Dairy & Animal Science).
