Silage message for farm group


BEING able to analyse what you have in your silage clamp can pay dividends to the bottom line - that was the take-home message from the Forward Farming cluster group meeting held at Park House Farm, Bolton-by-Bow- land. Following a group meeting at which mem­


bers where asked what topics they wished to cover, a request for input on the value of silage and the use of additives came to the fore. In conjunction with Alltech, Mr Garry


Starkie, of Dugdale Nutrition, invited Mr Raymond Jones, principal research scientist at the Institute of Grassland and Environ­ mental Research (IGBR) to visit a farm and deliver a clamp face meeting. David and Susan Graveston, also members


of the group, invited the members plus stu­ dents fromMyerscough College to their farm. Mr Jones started the meeting by asking


those in attendance to give their views on the silage that had been ensiled during the 2003


season. . ■ ■ Mr Graveston explained that, following the


events of the previous years, around two thirds of the farm’s land had been reseeded so the grass was off new leys. It had been cut a week later than he would have liked, mid- May, which had the effect of a higher percent­ age of stalk in the crop. Mr Jones commented on the lack of smell


with the silage which led him to believe that the ammonia levels were low and, as a result, the intake.would be good. The orange to red


coloration also showed that the fermentation process had been a rapid and stable one, with


■ good residual sugars which would also lead to high intake.


aided in the process of fermentation and the balance within the crop, which had minimal spoilage visible, but this must be coupled with good management of the ensiling process and


■ The use of an additive on the crop had


clamp care. . Choice of additive was discussed at length


\vith Mr Jones commenting that, regardless off season, the choice of addictives which meet the criteria of one million bacteria per gram of forage and having trail data concurrent with the type of crop. -
