Plastics in agriculture: Which are suitable?
Plastics have been an unavoidable part of life for many years, and they have now crept into almost industry that there is. However, when it comes to agriculture, farmers have found that they have needed to be careful which plastics they use. This is because some can be harmful to the environment and the crops that they grow. However, there are also some plastics which have proved to be essential ...

The Dangers of Farm Slurry and the Production of Slurry Gas
Slurry is created from cow manure and water and provides a fantastic, natural fertiliser that farmers can use to encourage the growth of grass and other crops. It is usually stored in a slurry tank or lagoon before it is applied to farmland as fertiliser. The dangers of working with slurry are well documented, as high amounts of gases can be released very quickly. How is farm slurry made? Waste ...

The Triple Challenge: Genetic Selection For Feed Efficiency
Like many other traditional industries such as automotive and banking, the agriculture and food markets are constantly faced with fundamental market shifts. New technology, science, digital capabilities, infrastructure, and viral marketing are beginning to converge, changing the environment and rules that many industries operate in. At Vytelle, we believe farmers are faced with what we refer to ...

Reduce the risk of mycotoxins in maize silage this season
“It’s not been a typical season for maize, with many crops going into the ground late. Quality and yield is looking variable, therefore it’s important farmers explore avenues which could help maximise quality and minimise dry matter losses between the field and feed-out, this will allow them to reduce purchased feed costs,” explains Lientjie Colahan, technical sales ...

Magox for Dairy Feeds and Buffers
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral for dairy cattle. Many forages are deficient and excessive amounts of other minerals, especially potassium (K), can interfere with Mg utilization, resulting in a greater Mg deficiency. While grains and oilseeds contain more Mg than most forages, the total ration still can be deficient. Most dairy nutritionists recommend 0.35% Mg in the total ration. ...

French Fries to Dairy DMI: Using an Inexpensive Air Fryer to Determine Dry Matter
Measuring Dry Matter Accurately On-Farm With an Affordable Consumer Appliance When assessing the health and productivity of your dairy herd, dry matter intake (DMI) is one of the key data points to consider. If DMI is low, productivity suffers no matter the quality of the ration. Moreover, with low DMI, maintaining cow health becomes that much more ...
