Top Fodder: Making Every Bite Count

With feed in short supply and every paddock under pressure, smart silage management has never been more important.

The Top Fodder program will help you maximise every cut, reduce losses, and boost the quality of homegrown feed so you can feed your herd well through dry/wet spells and keep production on track.

The program covers:

Using silage in the farming system
Principles and science of silage making
Factors affecting the quality & quantity of silage
Harvesting silage
Managing the wilting process
Storage options for baled and chopped silage
Use of additives and inoculants
Using silage as a pasture management tool
