Can i feed my animals on silage only?

[Darius Zimbe]

Would like to know if feeding my cows on silage only is okay.

[Charles Walugembe]

Of course, dairy cows require lots of energy to preserve body condition and maximise milk yields. High quality silage is an abundant source of energy, protein and fibre that aids rumen health. Not bad for a bunch of old grass, is it? In comparison to hay, silage preserves more nutrients from the original pasture

Well….one thing i know is that every stomach needs a balanced diet. However, for seasons where you can access fresh feeds, silage can work alone

It would not be bad especially if you dont have an alternative. But for anything to a good life you have to change the diet for a while. Have them lick some salk, eat peelings from bananas. It will do them good.
