BlogMaize silage feeding after drought condition – part 3/3IV. Yeasts, molds and mycotoxins risks In drought conditions there is a significantly higher risk of yeast contamination . In a US trial 28% of 183 drought affected maize samples had yeast counts above 10,000,000 CFU/g. Risk of decreasing feed intake due to alcohol production, DM losses, reduced energy and high nitrate content. Risk of […]

BlogMaize silage feeding after drought condition – part 2/3II. Nitrates content When plant growth is affected by adverse growing conditions or when excessive amounts of nitrogen are available in the soil, nitrates not converted to protein then accumulate in the plant stems and leaves. Nitrates are converted to Nitrites, which interfere with the hemoglobin in the animal, reducing the normal transport of oxygen […]
