[QUOTE="milkloss, post: 6912759, member: 56"] Not so sure I agree with this.... still reading it though. ————— Fields that are predominantly used for silage often have high dock levels. The key reasons for this are not due to the return of large numbers of dock seeds in slurry to silage fields, as is commonly believed. This is because the first cut of silage typically occurs before seeds are set, so few seeds get into the main bulk of silage. Dock seeds are killed by the ensiling process due to low pH. Rumen digestion also kills a significant amount of seed, as does slurry. So there are multiple reasons why slurry contains zero viable dock seeds. [/QUOTE]
