Silage is primarily used as livestock feed, particularly for ruminants like cows and sheep, during periods when fresh forage is scarce. It is made by fermenting green foliage crops in a controlled anaerobic environment, preserving their nutrients and moisture. Additionally, silage can improve the overall diet of animals, enhance milk production, and support weight gain in livestock. It also serves as a means of reducing waste by utilizing surplus forage that would otherwise go unharvested.
In a silage pit or as bales
The farmer fed silage to the pigs.
pH of silage should be in between 4.2-4.8
Protein average in corn silage is 6-9%.
Silage fermentation helps in the lowering of the forage to a certain point.
If the silage is exposed to any amount of oxygen, there is high potential for spoilage. When silage is spoiled, it cannot be used for livestock. Thus silage cannot be stored just anywhere, it must be stored in such a way that no oxygen is able to get into it. That enables the anaerobic bacteria to do their job and keep the silage as unspoiled as possible.
Silage died in the year 1971. He is therefore not able to perform this year.
