Bringing new science to beef producers

The science of ensiling feed dates back centuries, when farmers first sought ways to preserve feed for their cattle. Researchers continue to find new ways to speed up fermentation, allowing for more tons of dry matter and less waste. Preservation done right leads to better nutrition, potentially making cattle healthier and even faster finishing. Efficient silage is safer for families living and working on the farm and in the feedyard.
