What's the collectives thoughts on fertz / slurry application on silage aftermath to get maximum efficiency from applied N ?

slurry straight away & fertz after a week once grass has a bit leaf or just lash it on ?
Not putting on many units of bagged N to have to worry about it being used up before cutting

Get it on asap, follow the forager around the field.
Is that the most efficient time for the grass to use it ? I'm only putting on 30 / 40 units of N & aiming for about 5 weeks between cuts . Will the grass utilise the N more from stubble stage or after a week / 10 days when there is some leaf there again?
