used to notice thatHaven't got mine back yet, but have you noticed sometimes with a medicore result that the silage feeds out better then the results and sometimes with good quality silage on paper at least does not feed out as well.

have to agree with u there , my neighbour makes very high quality silage every year but sometimes his cows get stomach problems and he has to feed straw
Is it precision chop, if so thats the problem , displaced stomacks , chopped to short , so he has to feed straw to give them something to chew .

Is everyone here happy that the testing is accurate? I sometimes wonder......

Sound like a cow problem there,what kind of cow`s do they have?

Acidosis. And trying to keep cows from getting too fat.
