Prevent reheating: Be particularly mindful of silage hygiene in autumn and winter
In autumn and winter, opened silages are especially prone to weather influences. Rain and snow often cause silage surfaces to soil, resulting in hygienically compromised silages (see image on the left). Find useful tips for optimal silage hygiene here. Tip 1: Clear away removal residue Remove any loose material from silo...

An early harvest of maize crops?
Maize needs sufficient rain around the maize flowering time if it is to be fertilised and develop cobs. This year, a number of regions had no rain, and many maize crops are therefore under drought stress. These crops are frequently without cobs but contain a lot of sugar. Maize plants...

Less forage due to drought – act now
The persistent drought has caused problems in grass and maize crops. The grass harvest yields are significantly less than in previous years. Reduced yields are also expected for maize. Now is therefore a good time to consider the feeding regime on your farm. Read on for tips on what measures...

BONSILAGE SPEED M: Results of the 2017 silage monitoring
SCHAUMANN evaluated numerous silages treated with the ensiling agent BONSILAGE SPEED M during its silage monitoring of maize silages. The average energy content was 6.75 MJ NEL/kg DM. After comprehensive examination of all the silage samples, the winner was announced: In first place is Schumacher GbR from Stemwede (North Rhine-Westphalia)....

Bring in immature maize now with ensiling agents
Harvesting immature maize crops has already begun in some parts of Germany as it can be assumed that the badly drought-damaged maize will no longer recover. Additionally, many regions are not expecting rain in the next two weeks. If, in consultation with the maize seed breeding company, you decide to...

BONSILAGE FIT M: results of 2017 silage monitoring
SCHAUMANN analysed a large number of silage samples treated with BONSILAGE FIT M as part of the 2017 maize silage monitoring. The average energy content of the silages was 6.72 MJ NEL/kg DM, and the propylene glycol content in dry matter was 1.1%. Careful evaluation of all maize silages yielded clear winners: 1...

Stable silages to take farmers through summer
During the summer months, elevated cell counts in dairy cows are a common problem, which is caused by high temperatures resulting in the proliferation of moulds and yeasts across the silage face. This leads to silage reheating, a phenomenon that is clearly illustrated by thermal images. Silages that have not...

Optimal ensiling – good compaction counts
Excellent silages are created under optimal ensiling conditions, for which thorough compaction is essential. Read on for useful tips on this topic. Optimally wilted silage Silage with a dry matter content of 28–35% is ideal for ensiling. As a rule, the higher the DM content, the shorter the chop length (DM >...

Timing grassland cuts right is essential for good silage quality
High-quality silage forms the basis for successful, profitable milk production, and timing the first cut right is essential in this context. Ideally, the silage produced will have a maximum of 240 g crude fibre per kg dry matter. Many years of experience have shown that grassland reaches harvest maturity between the 30t...

Clear overgrown grassland now
Many grassland areas could not be harvested last autumn due to persistent wet weather conditions. It is now essential to remove the resulting old growth because it can have disastrous consequences if left in place. Remaining old growth suppresses and suffocates the young sward before it is able to establish i...

Lower Saxony silage competition 2017
Every year, the Chamber of Agriculture of Lower Saxony presents the best silages and awards prizes to the winners of the silage competition as part of its Grasslands Days. Participation in these competitions, where silages are ranked by nutrient and energy contents, plus fermentation quality for grass silage and fungal...

Forage milk yield – a decisive factor for operating profits
The Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Agriculture compared the full cost evaluations of about 1000 Schleswig-Holstein dairy farms in its 2016 Cattle Report. The result: high forage milk yields deliver considerably higher operating results. Farms with a very high forage milk yield of more than 5000 kg ECM/cow achieve an imputed operating profit that...

Silage additive BONSILAGE FIT G: Results of silage monitoring
SCHAUMANN evaluated a large number of 1st cut silage samples ensiled with BONSILAGE FIT G. The results were very positive: After an average ripening time of 68 days, the average energy content was 6.27 MJ NEL. The content of propylene glycol in the silages reached values between 0.38 and 7.51%. Thorough analyses of all s...

BONSILAGE SPEED M – indispensable in combating yeasts
Heavy rains and very damp weather conditions have made maize highly susceptible to infections. As a result, many plants were affected by high yeast levels at the time of harvest. Analyses of fresh maize samples revealed levels of up to 500,000,000 colony forming units (CFU) per gram of fresh matter. Even...

BONSILAGE SPEED G: Results of silage monitoring
SCHAUMANN has evaluated a large number of 1st cut silage samples treated with BONSILAGE SPEED G from all over Germany. The resulting silages were highly impressive: their average energy content was 6.2 MJ NEL, and the pH of all silages was clearly below critical levels. Careful evaluation of all silages yielded c...

BONSILAGE SPEED G – practical results confirm measurably faster ensiling
BONSILAGE SPEED G is SCHAUMANN’s innovative silage additive for accelerating silage maturity. This silage additive for grass, clover grass and forage rye silages allows silage to be opened after only 2 weeks’ ensiling, without aerobic spoilage processes or heating. ISF Schaumann Research has evaluated early analyses of the 1st cut from...
