That's an interesting one, what do you value a tonne of good silage at?

How much is dear?

Yes I agree, sorry sir... (y)

I disagree, I believe if you stop the secondry fermentation you arnt going to loose the energy hence getting more energy than you might have done if you didn't use an additive.

That's blumin good going, I would say this warm back end would test any Additive on the market.

It isn't easy is it? But all we can do is try. How has your silage tested?

My ideal situation is if you already have a good 70 D Value silage for example but the additive helps convert it to say a 72 D Value silage. Over a winter that is a lot of milk extra from forage. Plus less waste and...

What qualifies a consultant to advise this? I believe that's his own personal opinion and we shouldn't take everything "consultants" say as black and white.

Has he not got an applicator?

Testing times for the whole industry, let's just hope things turn around shortly

Very good I agree, a good additive can turn good grass into really good silage so is definitely worth using. Your comments are interesting about your orders.
