Silage is forage, crop residues produced anaerobically. It is an industrial and agricultural by-product that is preserved by acids, either artificially or by natural preservation. It can be fed to sheep cattle and other ruminants. Silage can be also used as a biofuel feedstock for anaerobic digesters.
Problems In Quality Silage Making
Silage making constitutes four phases such as:
- Aerobic Phase
- Fermentation Phase
- Stable Phase
- Feedout Phase
An issue in any of the above phases leads to damaged or unwanted products.
- Poor fermentation: It can result in in spoiling of nutrients.
- Aerobic spoilage: It is caused by molds and yeasts. It often results in heating and dry matter losses.
- Incorrect moisture levels: It can be either too wet or too dry.
- Mycotoxins: These are harmful secondary metabolites produced by fungi. They cause a wide range of undesirable effects in cattle.
- Quality concerns: Such as protein levels, fiber and digestibility, etc.
To help overcome these problems, it takes both good silage and good forage management. Only then can producers attain maximum gains from top quality silage.
Also, it is essential that the ration is balanced appropriately around the silage so that you get the maximum product possible.
Quality silage making attributes:
- Simple and cost-efficient storage of the bales
- Straightforward production of mixed feed (TMR)
- Easy and economic transport of the bales
- Silage maize can be utilized as summer feed
