In this episode of The Feed Science Podcast Show, we delve into beef cattle nutrition and silage production with Federico Podversich, a PhD candidate at the University of Florida. We discussed the nuances of corn-based, sorghum-based, and grass-based silage. Our conversation also contrasts feeding and management practices across South America, the US, and Europe while shedding light on silage processing and inoculation techniques. Join us for a comprehensive insight into this crucial aspect of cattle farming. "Despite the substantial effort dedicated to crop cultivation and harvest, overlooking the minor expense of a quality inoculant could lead to a 10% to 20% loss in dry matter, making inoculation a cost-effective strategy." What you'll learn:(00:00) Highlight(02:22) Introduction and academic background(06:27) Feeding and management perspectives: South America, US, and Europe(13:33) Silage for cattle(16:52) Corn vs. sorghum silage: usage, cattle impact, and advantages(25:14) Processing silage: an overview(33:50) Episode conclusionMeet the guest: Federico Podversich, M.Sc.Experience:Graduate Research Assistant at University of FloridaBackground:B.Sc., Veterinary Medicine (Universidad Nacional del Litoral)M.Sc., Animal Sciences (University of Florida) Connect with the guest!The Feed Science Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- Evonik- Eastman𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Instagram: The Feed Science Podcast Show LinkedIn: The Feed Science Podcast Show
