February 04, 2025 03:00 PM Europe/Copenhagen
Join us for an exciting live webinar. We will discuss the microbial solutions and ways you can optimize silage management and maximize the feed efficiency of your dairy herd.
If you are a nutritionist or farmer in the animal health & nutrition industry, this webinar is for you.
In the first part of the webinar, you will learn about effective silage management from our silage expert - Dr. Rafael Amaral.
Maximizing Silage Efficiency to Cut Emissions
Introduction to the 3S's of Silage Production: Soil, Silo, and Silage.
Importance of the often-overlooked "S" of Silo.
Impact of silo management on silage quality and reduction of losses.
Connection between improved silo management and emissions reduction.
Economic benefits of reducing dry matter losses with effective silage inoculants.
Case study: Emissions and cost savings in dairy farming through better silo practices.
Sustainable farming practices for future generations.
In the second part of the webinar, Dr. Bruno leda Cappellozza will focus on opportunities to maximize feed efficiency.
Microbial solutions to support feed efficiency of dairy cows
Good bacteria are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host if and when offered in adequate amounts
Bacillus spp. are one of the species often used to support dairy cow health and productivity
Besides positively impacting health, direct-fed microbials can also support feed efficiency in the dairy cow herd
At the end, we will have a panel discussion to answer your questions.
