The Impact of Mycotoxins
Find out how increased mold growth caused by cold and wet conditions have led to elevated levels of mycotoxins.
Starch Digestibility Analyses on the Rise
Starch digestibility is primarily determined by particle size, kernel moisture and length of ensiling time. Monitoring kernel processing may be the most economical way to troubleshoot any starch digestibility issues that could arise from a laboratory analysis.

BMR Corn Silage Feeding Considerations
Gain insight through this review of two decades' worth of considerations from dairy producers and nutritionists feeding BMR corn silages.
How Much Forage is OK in Dairy Diets?
Forage inclusion rates are dictated by the need to maintain rumen health and economics vs. the availability of non-forage fiber sources. Improvements in forage genetics, such as BMR silage corn and reduced-lignin alfalfa, also are helping provide higher-quality forages.
Why Wait to Feed New Crop Silage?
There is an abundance of corn silage fermentation research showing rapid changes in silages in the first two to three months of the ensiling process. This research lends credence to feeding recommendations of waiting until after Christmas.
