Silage management critical to reducing


mycotoxin risk • Quality feed poses lower mycotoxin risk • Roll layers of grass tightly when in clamp • Sheet silage to encourage an airtright seal


armers are being urged to pay close attention to clamp management to re- duce the potential for mycotoxin contamination.

Mycotoxins pose a serious threat to animal health and per- formance, says Louise Clarke, technical manager at Alltech. Si- lage is a major source of contam- ination – which makes it impor- tant for growers and contractors to minimise any risk. “While there’s potential for silage to become contaminat- ed with several different types of mycotoxin producing moulds, including those originating from the field, we saw particularly high levels of penicillium moulds in the 2016 silage samples we tested,” explains Ms Clarke. “Penicillium moulds build up in the clamp if conditions aren’t

Limit clamp losses to maximise output


Poor management can mean as much as one third of harvest- ed silage is lost in the clamp be- tween cutting and feeding, says Wynnstay dairy specialist, Mar- tin Hope.
