Corn silage, known as maize silage across Europe, is typically the largest component of the ration for dairy farms throughout the world. It’s also one of the largest investments, carrying the full cost of seed, fertiliser, fuel and labour. As input costs continue to fluctuate and margins tighten, many producers are under pressure to increase corn silage output. Yet, on many farms, the better solution is to boost corn silage efficiency. Improving silage efficiency means protecting corn silage quality and reducing problems such as silage dry matter losses.

Better corn silage efficiency doesn’t start with producing more maize – it starts with reducing silage dry matter losses and protecting corn silage quality. By boosting corn silage preservation and forage efficiency on-farm, producers can maximise existing resources and avoid forage shrinking.
