[QUOTE="novaman, post: 811021, member: 2744"] I will respectfully disagree TB. I had major problems last spring with cows not coming out of the gate very well. Many got sick and DA's were happening at a much higher than normal rate. Come to find out I had a mycotoxin problem in my silage. I couldn't even see mold on it but it tested out in the very high category. Had to put a binder in the feed to absorb the toxins and the cows did great after that. I used to put every last bit of silage from the pile into the feed wagon. I now keep a close eye and take off any moldy or slightly spoiled looking silage. Might be tedious but my time is cheaper than a vet bill. I agree that if the mold is diluted out enough it won't be a problem but I think I'm a bit gun shy now. Plus dairy cows are more sensitive to mold since they are usually under more stress than any given beef cow. [/QUOTE]
