A note from our Nutrition Department:
It is ideal to have corn silage available from the previous year to feed though the harvest and curing period of new corn silage, though this isn’t always possible. Fresh silage tends to be high in sugar and low in fermentable starch, meaning lower available energy in fresh feed compared to well fermented corn silage. Feeding fresh corn silage can cause a decline in production, so nutritional strategies should be implemented to maintain production.
- Test fresh corn silage ASAP so appropriate adjustments can be made in a timely manner. Retest and check dry matters regularly.
- Reduce the amount of corn silage in the ration until the fermentation process is complete. This can decrease the effect of the quickly changing silage pH on rumen bacteria.
- Adjust the amount of grain in the diet. Under the guidance of your nutritionist, adjust the amount of grain in the diet to maintain energy levels to support production.
Support rumen health and pH throughout the transition period with yeast and buffers.
