Top-quality grass silage is the foundation for high feed intake, performance, and profitability on many grassland farms with cattle, sheep, and goats.
In this episode of Agrar Science – Knowledge in Brief, PD Dr. Andreas Steinwidder with Ing. Reinhard Resch from the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein about the role of lactic acid bacteria in grass silage preservation.
We clarify when the supplemental addition of lactic acid bacteria via silage additives is beneficial, how they influence the fermentation process, why aerobic stability is becoming increasingly important, and where the limitations of lactic acid bacteria-based silage additives lie.
A practical discussion for everyone who doesn't want to leave feed quality to chance.
🔎 Correction to minute 23:45: The correct wording is “…based on a homofermentative lactic acid bacteria principle.”
