Ruminations #2 | From field to feed bunk: safeguarding nutrients in your silage for dairy success

In our previous Ruminations session, we explored how fiber management supports rumen function and dairy performance. But nutrient efficiency starts long before the ration is formulated.

From harvest to feed-out, silage undergoes a complex biological process. When fermentation is not properly managed, valuable nutrients can be lost through dry matter shrink, protein breakdown, heating, and aerobic instability — directly affecting intake, consistency, and milk yield.

In this webinar, we will explore:

• The fundamentals of silage fermentation biology

• Where and why nutrient losses occur

• The impact of fermentation quality on energy, protein, and fiber availability

• The economic consequences of shrink and spoilage

• Practical strategies — including the use of silage inoculants — to safeguard nutrients and improve feed stability

Join us to learn how protecting nutrients from field to feed bunk strengthens dairy performance and maximizes the value of every hectare harvested.
