Nitrogen dioxide is a danger during early silage fermentation. Formed as nitrates break down in the clamp, even brief exposure to this heavy gas can cause severe respiratory harm. Gas can occur in all silages, and maize this year might be especially prone to it due to the harvest conditions.

Always prioritise ventilation, look out for brown or yellow vapours around the pit edge, and restrict access to the clamp area for the first 7-10 days after filling.

How is Clackmae Farm keeping calf housing dry and clean? 🐄

Managing up to 100 calves at peak times, Scottish farmer Sally Williams focuses heavily on bedding hygiene as part of a proactive youngstock strategy.

By applying EazyBed Dry three times a week, the farm supports beneficial microbes to maintain bedding quality and keep housing environments clean and dry.

🌽 As maize harvest approaches, how much attention are you giving to chop length and kernel processing?

Well-processed kernels improve starch availability, while an appropriate chop length supports clamp consolidation and helps minimise oxygen entrapment.

Both have a significant influence on silage quality long after harvest finishes.

What are you seeing in your maize crops right now?
🌽 Dry matter and crop maturity are varying significantly across the UK and Ireland this season, with many growers reporting greater variability than expected between fields.

As harvest approaches, discussions are increasingly focusing on milk line, whole-plant dry matter and identifying the optimum harvest window for individual crops.

Harvest timing is only part of the equation. It's also worth considering whether your inoculant strategy is aligned to the crop and conditions you're harvesting this season.

🐄 While every farm system is unique, discussions with dairy producers in the lead-up to calving often centre around three practical areas:
1. Keeping dry matter intakes consistent.
2. Preventing ration sorting.
3. Minimising stress.

🌽 Have you spotted any areas of concern in your maize crop this season?

Crop stress, cob damage and field variability can all raise questions around forage quality at harvest.

Walking crops before harvest can help identify potential risks and support decisions around clamp management and forage preservation.

If you're assessing crops this season, speak to your local Lallemand Regional Business Manager about harvest and inoculant strategies: https://bit.ly/4fPOrHD

What is your biggest focus before calving?

As autumn-calving herds move closer to transition, attention is often split between ration formulation, housing management and cow comfort. While every farm is different, maintaining consistent dry matter intake and good rumen fill remains an important consideration during this period.

If you're reviewing your transition approach this autumn, speak to your nutritionist or local Lallemand Regional Business Manager: https://bit.ly/4fPOrHD

Trapping air in the silage clamp is one of the biggest risks to forage quality at first cut. Good consolidation is all in the clamp management - spreading grass in thin, even layers allows air to be rolled out efficiently before sealing.

R&L Anthony Ltd in South Wales showed how it’s done this week. As Regional Business Manager Anwen Jones put it: “Careful management made all the difference here - the clamp is perfect from top to bottom.”

Variety differences were clear, but the big takeaway was dry matter - it can jump 8% in a week right now. Plus, heat stress during pollination means cob fill may disappoint. Since the cob makes up 50–55% of total plant yield, checking fields early is vital.
