Advantages of Silage Corn Straw Feed

In the winter, when there are no green plants for livestock and poultry, the silage produced in advance will play an important role, enabling the livestock and poultry to eat green feed in the winter. Silage refers to the method of storing the green and succulent green feed (such as corn stover, pasture, etc.) under the anaerobic or oxygen-consuming conditions through the fermentation of microbial strains (garbage silage starter). People have used silage methods to preserve feed for thousands of years. The word “silo” originated from the Greek word “siros”, meaning siros are holes or pits on the ground. Some of the ancient paintings unearthed in Egypt show that ancient Egyptians were familiar with and used silage technology as early as 1000-1500 BC. At present, silage has been widely used in animal husbandry production around the world and is an important green and juicy feed for ruminant livestock (dairy cows, beef cattle, dairy sheep, mutton sheep, deer, horses, donkeys, etc.).

Advantages of using silage starter to make feed

1, nutrient-rich

Silage corn stalk feed can reduce the loss of nutrients, improve feed utilization. In general, drying hay nutrients will lose about 20%-30%, sometimes even as much as 40%, while the silage nutrients will only lose about 3%-10%, especially effective in preserving vitamins. In addition, silage can also eliminate many parasites (such as corn borer, borers) and harmful bacteria that are carried in corn stover.

According to inspection statistics, the nutritional value of the whole plant corn silage produced on the same unit area of ​​arable land will be 30% to 50% higher than the nutritional value of the corn grain plus dried corn stalk produced.

2, enhance palatability

Silage is soft and juicy, smells sweet and sour, and palatability is good. Especially in the dry season, livestock can eat green feed and naturally increase feed intake. At the same time, it can also promote the secretion of digestive glands, and it also has a good effect on improving the digestion of other feeds in livestock diets. Experiments have shown that the digestibility of silage can be improved by using silage made from the same kind of grass and hay.

3, increase milk production

A large number of feeding experiments showed that feeding silage can increase milk production by about 10% to 20% in dairy animals, and the increase was influenced by the nutritional content of silage materials and quality after silage.

4, easy to make

Silage is one of the most effective ways to keep green feed nutrients. Silage raw materials are widely available, and various green feeds, green crop stalks, cane vine mash, high-moisture grains, bad residue, etc. can be used to make silage. Silage production is not affected by the seasons and the weather. The production process is simple and less labor is required. Compared with preserving hay, making silage has a small footprint and is easy to preserve. Details can be consulted: Beijing Huaxia Kangyuan Technology Co., Ltd. telephone toll-free hotline.
