🏭 Silage Preparation Calculator

Calculate dry matter, fermentation losses, and feeding days from silage.

Wet Biomass (tonnes)Total fresh weight harvested

Moisture Content (%)Moisture at harvest

Fermentation Loss (%)Expected loss during fermentation

Daily DM Demand (kg)Herd daily dry matter requirement

📐 How It Works

Initial DM = Wet Weight × (100 - Moisture) ÷ 100 | Net DM = Initial DM - Loss | Feeding Days = Net DM × 1000 ÷ Daily Demand
