Written by Trish Lewis, Silage Consultant When crops have been flooded prior to cutting for silage, there is an increased risk of poor fermentation, lower nutrient content of the silage and possible animal health issues. It is important to understand these risks before deciding whether to go ahead and ensile the crop, and where possible […]
One of the major advantages over other starter drenches on the market are the higher energy levels (16MJ/Litre) and superior flowability, owing to the high monopropylene glycol (MPG) dose (440 ml) which is a rapid glucose (energy) precursor for the cow. Other products have about half this level of MPG. JumpStart™ also has two forms […]

Bypass fats such as Golden Flake™ are increasingly recognised for their benefits in dairy cow nutrition, particularly for enhancing milk production and milk fat percentage. Dairy cows have the potential to produce large amounts of milk and milk components, such as protein and fat. However, to achieve these high levels, they require a substantial amount […]
The name Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a common yeast used in fermentation processes to make bread, beer, wine and ethanol. Lallemand, a world leader in the science of yeast and bacteria, has selected specific strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are used globally in the manufacturing of these products. Since the early 1990’s Lallemand Animal Nutrition division […]
It has been proven that silage cannot be stored effectively without the use of plastic silage covers, but there are options available that reduce plastic waste and ensure silage quality for farmers. Silostop® Orange single layer plastic High Oxygen Barrier silage covers are one of these options and we explore why below. The Problem. Plastic […]
Are you someone who inoculates their silage sometimes, but not every time? Here are some key reasons why all silages benefit from a specific inoculant from the MAGNIVA® range. All crops come in with ‘wild’ yeasts, moulds and bacteria. You could gamble on these ‘wild’ microbes, and hope that there are more ‘good’ ones’ than […]

In the past there was one inoculant for grass and legume silages, another for maize and wholecrop cereal silages. However, thanks to years of research, development and published trials by Lallemand Animal Nutrition, our understanding of what different silages need has changed over time. With more specific strains of bacteria, selected not just for their […]
