Silage represent up to 50% of dairy cow diet, hence silage quality is a key to farm profitability. This in mind, Lallemand Animal Nutrition has developed a Silage investigation tool, the Corn Silage Investigation (CSI), combining a set of tools (corer, thermometer...) and practical software easy to use on the field to assess silage quality and help improve it.

Indeed, the software, which compiles data from the literature, can be applied to help design the silo and/or silo-making conditions (temperature, pH, density, packing...) according to the farm parameters, for optimal silo quality.

The CSI software is already used by technicians who commercialize the LALSIL brand.
