    I bought some additives that you spray on the rowed up silage. It’s meant to improve the feed quality if silage. Has anyone ever tired it. I got the one from Agritech

    Used Agritech sugar boost last year for Sept cut on some bales. Will use it again in difficult conditions but at the moment sugars are good with this weather and dry so don’t bother.

    Used powerstart last year and on a powder from agrilyod this year as have switched to wagon silage from pit and bales, you get seriously better intakes when treated with additive, used to make a 1000 plus bales yearly for milkers due to struggling with intakes when milking on pit silage but the additive last year was a game changer,...
    Some relief not to have to put in the summer bollocking at bales every week, that used to be the case
