Enhancing Dairy Cow Performance: The Impact of SiloSolve® FC Inoculated Silage
- SiloSolve® FC inoculant improves aerobic stability in both ryegrass and corn silage, leading to better preservation.
- Incorporating SiloSolve® FC inoculated silage improved aerobic stability in a prepartum and postpartum TMR´s, helping to maintain consistent feed quality throughout the transition period.
- Feeding inoculated silage supports lactating cow performance without affecting dry matter intake.
- TMR with SiloSolve® FC inoculated silage increases milk quality (3.5% fat-corrected milk, ECM, and milk fat yield).

Microbial solutions to support transition dairy cows
- Good bacteria are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host, if and when offered in adequate amounts
- Bacillus spp. are one of the species often used to support dairy cow health and productivity
- Feeding a Bacillus-based probiotic supports performance of the transition dairy cow, while also improving the quality of the colostrum that is fed to the calves

The housed and intensively grazed transition dairy cow
- Despite of being focus of research for decades the transition period remains a hurdle to dairy production.
- Comparable physiological, immunological and metabolic challenges are faced by housed and intensively grazed transition dairy cows.
- A smooth transition is paramount for an optimized lactation performance.
