Silage slippage decreases the nutritional and hygienic value of silage and causes significant wastage but each and every year the issue is seen on farms. The advice to reduce slippage has been in place for many decades and many small but important factors have changed over the years. The aim of the AHDB funded project was to identify underlying reasons and common factors behind the slippages. If you are a contractor involved in the silage making process or dealing with machinery join Dr Dave Davies to learn more about the findings. He will also give practical advice from chop length, compaction and filling angle to avoid slippage this season.
Dr Dave Davies is from a farming family, he worked as a research scientist at IGER Aberystwyth for 20 years before establishing his own company, Silage Solutions Ltd. He is passionate about getting independent evidence-based advice to farmers and to these ends continues to conduct silage trials and consults with farmers across Europe. He has links to many research establishments and is currently a visiting Professor at North Wyke, Rothamsted Research.
