Description
Recently, the rising prices of dairy feeds have tightened farm profits. To overcome this challenge, we need to make sure we have good-quality feed that can result in more milk production, which in turn demands being up to date with the latest advances in forage research. With that in mind, where are we in forage research? In this episode, with our guest Dr. Luiz Ferraretto, we talk about advances in such research over the last 15 years, discoveries regarding kernel starch digestibility, the development of good forage programs, and topics that are being looked into now.“When we work with forages, it's very interesting to see the whole lot of changes that happen – but they don't happen all at once, they continuously happen over time”. – Dr. Luiz FerrarettoWhat you’ll learn:Highlight (00:00)Introduction (1:20)The most important recent advances in forage research (4:08)The breaking of more kernel starch and changes in fermentation (7:18)How do we develop a good forage program?
