Utilising clover silage in dairy feed rations

Iwan Vaughan of Dairy Diagnosis talks about using homegrown clover silage in rations for protein efficiency in both grazing and TMR systems.

The video offers insights on maximizing forage intake and substituting purchased protein with homegrown sources, understanding protein dynamics, enhancing nitrogen utilization, utilizing neutral detergent fibre for safe carbohydrate feeding, integrating clover-based silage into TMRs, and optimizing clover grazing systems.
