Silage losses you can’t see — but definitely pay for

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.
