Answer: As well-known, green fodder and better palatability, digestion rate, nutrient-rich, is good fodder to feed livestock, but not year-round balanced supply of green fodder. Therefore, people will feed the growth of peak modulation as part of the green fodder hay for feeding livestock off-season. Modulation during hay, silage contained more nutrients losses, so it has to explore better way to save. Silage is an ideal way to save.
The principle is to feed silage suitable conditions, through anaerobic fermentation, resulting in acidic environment, inhibit and kill various micro-organisms multiply, so as to achieve long-term preservation purposes.
2. What kind of fodder is suitable for silage?
Answer: silage at 70% moisture content is appropriate, in order to meet the lactic acid fermentation, in addition to ensure anaerobic, water and other conditions, but also take some of the soluble sugar (feed for 8% -10% dry matter) exists, feed such as sugar and more corn stalks, grass silage and so easy to succeed.
3. What are the raw materials in silage?
Answer: silage wide source of raw materials, general agricultural crops, feed crops, beans, roots, tubers and leaves of aquatic feed and can be used for silage. Currently most used is the corn stalk with millet sprays, followed by snapping the corn stalks, sorghum stalks, sugar cane scraps and potato vines.
