Silage corn or Corn silage is a type of feed for livestock that is rich in nutrients, very suitable for herbivorous animals, especially cows. Currently, silage corn products are extremely popular at cattle farms in countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc.
Silage corn or Corn silage is made from corn stalks, leaves, corn husks, and cobs for fermentation in compost bags or compost pits. This type of animal feed is easy to make, only needs to be fermented for 40 to 50 days, it can be used immediately and the storage time can be up to 6 months to 1 year.
Silage is a biological method that uses the principle of breaking down soluble sugars available in green raw materials (by existing microorganisms or added) into organic acids under anaerobic conditions. This acid content often increases rapidly, mainly lactic acid has the effect of reducing environmental PH, inhibiting the growth of rotten bacteria, so corn or corn silage will be preserved for a long time naturally without using any any preservative.
The advantages of using corn silage:
Green raw materials are kept intact the content of nutrients.
Thanks to the microbiota that break down sugars, nutrients are diversified.
Cattle are easier to digest
Does not produce toxins, does not rot, mold during product preservation.
Preserve and store food for times when forage is limited due to crops.
Easy to implement and apply in all kinds of different breeding models.
Product Detail
When corn plants reach the coagulation stage in young corn kernels, farmers harvest (about 90 days), at this time the nutrient content in corn is high, but the yield of green matter is also high. The harvested product at this time is also the most suitable for silage.
The basic ingredients of corn silage include:
Whole tree, harvested at the right age (85 days) when nutrients are optimal. Properly silage, the finished product has only the following chemical digestion: Ingredients: 100% whole fruit, Protein: 8.2%, Moisture: 65%, Dryness: 35%
Microbial preparations (if any) 0.1 - 0.2%
Nursery corn is packed in rolls, each roll is 300-400kg
