After a very good first cut, most dairy farmers were not able to get much from second cut. Most of this was of less quantity and quality with a lot of stalk and containing less nutritional energy because of the drought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The corn was also different this year. Some farmers got a very good harvest while others were stuck with too little amount and containing too little starch. On top of that, during feeding it seems very hard to keep cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">What does your roughage stock look like and how many months of good quality supply do you have for your cows?<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">If that\u2019s considerably less than the supply you need during the winterperiod, then it is crucial to take measures to stretch the duration of your supply.<br \/>\nWe don\u2019t want to have to think about the possibility of good cows eating poor quality roughage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Some example measures you can take: Give non-lactating cows and young cattle other feed (Dry cows could get <b>hammered <\/b>straw).<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span class=\"\">Give the lowest producing cows, in a production group, different roughage, perhaps.<br \/>\nOr, strictly select the bottom end of the herd and dry off cows on time (or earlier).<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Correct the ration with by-products as well, both on quantity and type of supplementation. This year, this will be a special field of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Consult with your advisor on these issues. Don\u2019t just take the quality or quantity of silage for what it is. S\/he will also experience new situations this year and can tailor solutions to your specific region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make the most of good silage It&#8217;s been another special year for harvesting.
