    few questions on molasses. the silage is going off in the mild weather and i want to eat the silage quicker.

    1. do you apply it every day or only when feeding.

    2. what quantity should i use

    3. does the molasses have any effect on cattle.

    4. when the silage quantity goes back to normal, will the cattle eat the silage without molasses, if they have been fed molasses.

    hi op

    I bought 1ton of mollasses on saturday for the say reason. It was €190 a ton and about 600 litres (just over half filled an ibc tank)

    I am giving about 4 gallons spread over 39ft of silage each evening.
