maturity resulted in varying
degrees of moisture in haycrop
and com silage. There was prob*
ably more dry com silage put up
this year than in any recent year.
Consequently, if your are measur
ing toe same weight of forage in
your TMR and die silage is drier
than the sample that was used to
formulate the ration, your forage
dry matter intake will be out of
balance. The key is to check to dry
matter on all high moisture feeds
weekly with the use of a digital
scale and micrcwave oven. By
constantly monitoring dry matter,
production losses can be adverted.
Also, by detecting low moisture
silage, problems such as mycotox
ins and poor fermentation can be
found.
