The Feed Science Podcast Show Federico Podversich: Silage Best Practices | Ep. 17
In this episode of The Feed Science Podcast Show, we delve into beef cattle nutrition and silage production with Federico Podversich, a PhD candidate at the University of Florida. We discussed the nuances of corn-based, sorghum-based, and grass-based silage. Our conversation also contrasts feeding and management practices across South America, the US, and Europe while shedding light on silage processing and inoculation techniques. Join us for a comprehensive insight into this crucial aspect of cattle farming.
"Despite the substantial effort dedicated to crop cultivation and harvest, overlooking the minor expense of a quality inoculant could lead to a 10% to 20% loss in dry matter, making inoculation a cost-effective strategy."
