@MattWalpole86 @EnnsFarmsRyan if you have to feed it, the use of a proven mycotoxin binder is recommended and/or dilute with clean product.

@MattWalpole86 @EnnsFarmsRyan cause for concern if that ingredient makes up >5% of dairy diet. If that is the diet it is very concerning.

It is not what you expect, but what you inspect. #Ergot in #barley, inspect and avoid feeding where possible.

Particle size testing your fresh chop #cornsilage? You should be. #dairyfarm #cattlenutrition

[Leland Fuhr @DairySmart]

Don't feed fresh combined barley or wheat to livestock! It needs to bin cure 4 to 6 weeks before feeding. #rumenhealth

[Leland Fuhr @DairySmart]

Check your #silagemoisture lately? Changes in #feed moisture put your ration(s) out of balance. #dairyfarm

[Leland Fuhr @DairySmart]

Should straw be tested? The carbs and protein don't vary much, some minerals can vary dramatically. #transitioncows

17% vs 32% starch in barley silage @ 3 dry ton/acre & $3.50/bushel barley is a difference of about $124/acre. #cropinputs #cuttime

Bad neighborhood to break down with a full load of silage. #donottrustcows
