Maximize Forage Quality and ROI with Silo Guard (ft. Peter Vinelli)

Forage quality is one of the most overlooked drivers of cattle performance, and one of the biggest hidden sources of loss.
In this episode of the Profectus Livestock Solutions Podcast, Dr. Brian Dorcey sits down with Peter Vinelli of International Stock Food Corporation, the maker of SiloGuard, to break down how mold and yeast silently impact intake, health, and production across forage systems.
They discuss the difference between biological inoculants and chemical preservatives, how oxygen drives spoilage, and why preventing forage degradation at harvest is critical to protecting your return.
From silage piles to baled hay, this conversation focuses on practical strategies to reduce dry matter loss, widen harvest windows, and maintain consistent feed quality across varying conditions.
If you are putting up forage, this episode will change how you think about preservation, management, and performance.
