A quick trip out for our regional business manager for Wales, , yesterday.

It was a race against time to deliver some Magniva silage inoculant to Twose Farm Ltd so they could get finished ahead of the downpour due today 🌧️

June's proving to be another busy month out in the field – quite literally!

Here are a few recent highlights from our team. 📷 🎥

🔅 Beautiful countryside scenes – from lush grass and clover mixes to golden oilseed r**e fields, all captured while visiting farmers and sharing silaging advice

💪 Foraging teams in full swing across Co. Tyrone, Pembrokeshire, the Scottish Borders - and many more corners of the UK!

🚜 We also hosted a brilliant farmer event with Foyle Food Group, Fane Valley Group, and the Wigton discussion group from Cumbria - a great day of learning. 👏

Unlock more energy, whatever the weather. ☀️ 🌧️

MAGNIVA silage inoculants are proven to increase NDF digestibility by 5.4% – thanks to a unique blend of enzymes and bacteria that unlock more energy from your forage.

✅ Higher silage intakes
✅ More milk from forage
✅ Improved herd productivity

Get more from your grass and your cows, every time, with MAGNIVA.

Have you heard of luxury uptake of nitrogen?

It happens when dry, thirsty grass crops get a much-needed drink of water 🌧️

They suck up any slurry or fertiliser you’ve applied, resulting in high nitrate levels which make fermentation difficult. ⚠️

You can assess your nitrate levels using a fresh grass test – levels of less than 1,000mg/kg fresh weight are required for good fermentation, but luxury uptake of nitrogen pushes this closer to 2,500mg/kg.

Has your rain dance worked? ☔

Remember to consider nitrate levels in grass that receives rain after a long period of dry weather.

⚠️ This causes luxury uptake of nitrogen – where the plant sucks up any slurry or fert you’ve applied – leading to high levels of nitrates in the grass.

This results in fermentation problems so wait a few days before cutting, if you can, or wilt the grass for longer as some of the spoilage-causing microbes that thrive on nitrates struggle to be active when the grass is dry. ✅

Is maize proving tricky to grow on your farm? More dairy producers are turning to other wholecrop cereal silages as a flexible, homegrown alternative.

🌾 Wholecrop acts as an ‘insurance policy’ in your ration – great for balancing variable grass silages
🌾 It can be grown in spring, harvested by late July or early August, and reseeded straight afterwards
🌾 Depending on your season, some of these crops can be used as wholecrop silage or crimped grain – giving you more control
🌾 Helps buffer rumen pH and provides valuable fibre in high-energy diets

If you’re planning to feed your herd wholecrop silage this year, let us know!

🚨Watch out for potential high nitrate levels in grass!🚨

The recent dry spell means that standing grass may not have used up all applied fertiliser and/or slurry.

With the Met Office forecasting some rain over the coming days, grass could grow rapidly and take up that remaining nitrogen all at once.

The result🟰risk of high nitrate levels in your next cut (especially if you’re aiming to sn**ch a cut in a tight window)!

This can cause fermentation problems, impacting forage quality, so we strongly recommend pre cut testing for N before harvesting.

Choosing the right inoculant can make a big difference in how well your silage holds its feed value from clamp to the feed barrier.

Here’s what to consider:
🌧️ Wet or dry? Your crop’s moisture content changes the fermentation challenge.
🔍 Go specific – a crop- and condition-specific inoculant ensures the bacteria combination is the right match for your clamp.
✅ Dual-action bacteria – look for a mix of homofermentative (for fast pH drop) and heterofermentative (for spoilage control) strains.
💥 Enzymes matter – they break down fibre, boost digestibility, and support an ideal fermentation.

The right inoculant = more nutrients locked in and more energy for your herd. 🐄

Our specific live probiotic yeast, LEVUCELL SB (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii CNCM I-1079) is backed by 300+ scientific publications and has been used in human medicine for over 50 years.
LEVUCELL SB has been enhancing animal nutrition for more than 20 years and is proven to maintain the health and welfare of monogastric animals.
LEVUCELL SB acts on three main lines of defence:
👉 Microbiota Balance: Creates a favourable environment for beneficial bacteria
👉 Gut Integrity: Enhances gut health and limits intestinal permeability to undesirable bacteria
👉 Natural Defenses: Strengthens the immune system for optimal stress response
In the context of antibiotic reduction, LEVUCELL SB supported by 40+ scientific publications, has been consistently beneficial in all pig feeding strategies: gestation, peripartum, lactation, in the feed of piglets, and fattening pigs.

LEVUCELL SB is getting a makeover. In the meantime, learn more here: https://bit.ly/3Sbps69

Six cuts, 24-hour wilt and top-class consolidation. ✅

At Drefach Farms in West Wales, the Gibbin family are proving that quality forage is the foundation of a profitable dairy system. 🐄

Switching to a forage wagon and adopting a multi-cut system - every 4.5 weeks from April - has helped them produce consistent, high-quality silage.

Each cut is layered like a lasagne, compacted thoroughly, and treated with a crop- and condition-specific Magniva silage inoculant to protect fermentation and maximise feed value.

💬 “We put 100% into getting the forage right. Using an additive is a no-brainer,” says Gethin Gibbin.

💡 With margins over purchased feed hitting 37p/litre, consistency in the clamp = consistency in the parlour.

Facing forage gaps this season? 🌾 Cereals could be your flexible solution!

With variable weather impacting grass growth, cereals offer an ‘insurance policy’ to fill the gaps – you don't have to decide how to use them until after your first few cuts of grass silage. 🐄

Lientjie Colahan explains how cereals give you the flexibility to adapt based on your farm’s needs. 👇

The history of Lallemand Animal Nutrition

From Baker’s yeast…

End of the 19th century: Lallemand was founded in Montreal by a young immigrant from Alsace: Fred Shurer. Since his name was difficult to pronounce for his fellow citizens, he was nicknamed “Lallemand”, which is the French for “the German.” He kept the name and gave it to the company. In 1923, Fred started producing baker’s yeast in the Préfontaine Street plant in Montreal, which is still in operation today, to supply the North American baking industry.

1952: The Chagnon family purchased Lallemand, moving the company forward from a baker’s yeast producer to a major player in the development and production of specific yeast and bacteria strains, serving markets such as baking, beer brewing, oenology, spirits, biofuels, plant care, food, human health, pharmaceuticals, and animal nutrition. The company practically grew from yeast to become a global leader in microbial fermentation.

Today, Lallemand is globally present with more than 30 yeast and bacteria production plants. With more than 4,000 employees around the world, the group has an active business presence on all five continents.
