318: AHDB Dairy: Maximising forage quality to minimise feed costs
Written by Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board
There have recently been many announcements of milk price increases, however we have also seen fuel increase by 54%, fertiliser increase by a whopping 238% and feed increase by 12.5%. Margins and cash flows are tight, even with the milk prices responding.
In this episode Knowledge Exchange Manager Steve West talks to Roy Eastlake, retired nutritional consultant who formerly worked with Lallemand, to find out how farmers can help improve their feed efficiency by focussing on the 4 S's: silage, soil, slurry and sheds.
Resources discussed in this podcast:
- Feed and forage calculator
- Forage cost calculator
- Marginal litres webinar with John Roache
- AHDB Dairy webinar recordings
