Maize For Silage - The Foundation of Profitable Dairy Farming

In this video, Dr. Muthui S. K. alongside Mr. Henry Ambwere break down everything you need to know about growing and preparing maize for silage, from selecting the right variety, ideal planting practices, correct harvesting stage (milk to dough stage), to proper chopping and compaction for quality fermentation. Good silage is not just about quantity. It’s about nutrient preservation, digestibility and minimizing losses. We also highlight the role of MolaPlus Livestock Microbes in the silage-making process. When added correctly, the microbes: • Improve fermentation • Enhance nutrient preservation • Reduce spoilage • Improve digestibility • Support better animal performance If you want consistent milk production, better weight gain and efficient feed utilization, this is a must-watch. Watch, learn and let us know your questions in the comments.
