The Benefits of Silage Additive 

Although a large quantity of silage has being cut over the past few weeks, there is still a large quantity to get done. A wetter spring led to later Nitrogen applications and therefore later cutting dates for some farmers. With good growing conditions of late, it can also be noted that some paddocks could be marked for bales. Our range of silage additives could be ideal for these situations, helping farmers preserve the quality of silage made. Our Lallemand range of silage additives are tailored to meet your crops needs. Whether you’re looking to enhance fermentation, improve digestibility, or preserve your silage quality, we’ve got you covered. Some of the main benefits of our additives are noted here.

With a large amount of silage cut over the past 2 weeks, it is important for farmers to be on the ball when it comes to applying fertiliser for after grass. Fertilising second cut silage involves providing the necessary nutrients to optimise the growth and quality of the forage for the second harvest. Apply fertilizers soon after the first cut to give nutrients time to dissolve and become available for the plants. This ensures the forage can quickly regrow for the second cut. We are recommending a combination of Agriphos plus liquid nitrogen to get the quickest and more effective regrowth.
