Microbial silage is a type of fermented feed made from plant materials, such as grasses or legumes, that are preserved through the action of beneficial microorganisms, primarily lactic acid bacteria. This fermentation process helps to lower the pH, inhibiting spoilage and pathogenic organisms, while enhancing the nutritional value of the feed. It is commonly used in livestock feeding to improve digestibility and provide a stable food source during periods when fresh forage is unavailable. The process relies on proper moisture content and anaerobic conditions to achieve optimal fermentation.
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.
No, horses should not be fed silage. Silage is a fermented feed stuff and single compartmeted stomaced animals can not digest it properly. Horses fed silage can become very ill, colic and even die. Silage is meant for ruminant animals.
