Forage Fed

• Advantages over dry bales in terms of nutrient content and economic feasibility.

• Enhances meat tenderness, juiciness, and taste.

• Influence on fatty acid profiles for improved meat quality.

• Significance of n-3 fatty acids in grass-silage diets for cattle performance.

• Combining silage with energy-rich forages for enhanced energy density. 

• Our silage feed is cow friendly, meaning it is more friendly to the cow's digestive system.

• It is about 15% corn. We are keeping the health of the animals in mind. You can taste it in our meats

• Our silage isn't as high in corn as others. The higher the corn ration the more likely livers are blown.

One significant advantage of silage over dry bales is its superior nutrient content. Silage is harvested at an earlier stage, ensuring retention of essential nutrients like protein and minerals. Additionally, silage has a higher digestibility rate, resulting in a more efficient transfer of nutrients to the animal. In terms of economic feasibility, studies show that silage is cost-effective in comparison to dry bales, mostly when farmers have access to land for grazing and silage production, as it saves on transportation and labor costs.

Meat quality is a significant concern in livestock management, as it affects consumer preference and, ultimately, economic viability. Silage has been shown to improve meat tenderness, juiciness, and taste, making it an attractive feed source for farmers. The high mineral content in silage is believed to contribute to meat tenderness, while the fermentation process in silage production enhances meat juiciness and taste.

Silage has been found to be an excellent source of n-3 fatty acids when harvested at an earlier stage, making it a practical option for farmers who want to improve the nutritional value of their cattle diets. Research has shown that n-3 fatty acids from silage can reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and improve fertility in cattle, among other benefits.
