Our few Jerseys are loose housed through the winter and fed baled silage in a ring feeder which is on an area we scrape clean daily. Previous years we'd noticed how much silage they dragged out of the feeder when eating so when we changed our baler last year we went for one with a chopper in the hope we'd stop this. Unfortunately it hasn't helped as much as I hoped, they are still pulling silage onto the floor and it seems like every day we are scraping half of what we've put in, back out. Any ideas how we can reduce this?
