- Ø Herd output 11,300 kg milk

The initial situation
Due to the extreme drought, there have been frequent problems with the corn in recent years. The plants produced few cobs and the leaves were brown.
Why use silage inoculants?
The Funke-Heinert farm relies on a simple feed ration with few components. The use of silage inoculants is therefore essential for corn. The farmer comments: “Without the use of Josilac®, no high-quality corn silage.”
The goal
Consistently high-quality forage and tasty silage.
The Statement
Josilac®
"The quality of the basic feed is decisive for the economic success of my farm. It would be risky for us if we did not use silage inoculants, as this could easily lead to high feed losses. That is why we have been using Josilac® for several years now."
