| The grain was crimped and ensiled and will be fed to the herd through a total mixed ration system. |
| Make sure new rations are in place before the feed is fed and make alterations when ensiled feed analysis results are available. |
| Eric Hanbidge says that tanks and drains should be inspected hourly after ensiling until effluent release from ensiled grass has stopped. |
| Young grass can be ensiled, as can other feeds such as brewers' grains for example. |
| A preservative is then applied and the grain is ensiled in a polythene-lined clamp. |
| Directly ensiled grass can produce peak effluent flows of up to 30 litres per tonne per day for the first few days after ensiling. |
