    maybe but it doesn't say this on the label. think i "heard" somewhere after to cut away after 3 days. I caught with a field last year and it was 10 days before well got into cut it, The animal went nuts for it over the other normal silage. The reckoning why cattle prefer sprayed off silage is that the plant puts alls its nutrients and sugars up into the leaf trying to fight the poisoning
