Contractors like big kit. Modern forage harvesters, therefore, can clear huge amounts of grass leading to greater efficiency and a better cost structure. But this can also lead to poor consolidation at the clamp if loads are heavy and delivered too quickly within a given hour.

To protect quality silage this winter – and feed it efficiently – Dr George Fisher of CF Fertilisers stresses the key message is simply to keep it clean. This reduces spoilage and wastage and basically involves cutting the clamp face cleanly, keeping it tidy, and getting rid of any bad silage. Remove spills often and clean out troughs and feed passages routinely.

Silage clamps should ideally be tested every four weeks over winter to maintain ration consistency for high-yielding herds. Even grass that is properly clamped averages 12% losses in dry matter over time, which affects intakes.
