About the Live Webinar
Forage quality analysis reports provide essential information on protein, carbohydrate, and fat fractions in corn silage, along with valuable insights into fermentation and dry matter preservation. Assistant Professor of Forage Production Guojie Wang will guide participants in understanding the fermentation fractions within these reports, while Dairy Extension Educator Kasey Hower will examine the selection, use, and effectiveness of silage additives, which have shown varying levels of success in supporting forage preservation. Together, these discussions will equip producers with practical knowledge to better interpret forage reports and make informed decisions to protect silage quality.

Designed for both experienced growers and those new to silage production, the sessions provide insights to help maximize yield, enhance quality, and support profitability across Pennsylvania’s diverse growing conditions.
