In response to the short video of "cutting green wheat for feed" recently circulated on the Internet, Chen Shaohu, deputy secretary-general of the China Dairy Association, said on the 17th that a few dairy farms in the Huanghuaihai area use wheat as silage, most of which are farms. Wheat is grown in rotation on the supporting forage ground, and some farms have purchased and stored some wheat nearby, but it is not large-scale and the area is small. The shortage of silage for large dairy farms in the Huanghuaihai area is not large. It can be solved. Chen Shaohu said in an interview with reporters that the China Dairy Association has recently cooperated with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to dispatch the relevant situation of dairy farming enterprises. In the Huanghuaihai area, a few dairy farms use wheat as silage, mainly silage corn, etc. There is a certain gap, especially due to the severe autumn flood in the north last year, the shortage of silage corn has been insufficient, and the shortage of silage has increased. Chen Shaohu said that at present, the relevant dairy farms have stopped purchasing and storing rations of wheat as silage. The association is working with relevant breeding enterprises and Forage enterprises should communicate with each other, strengthen the scheduling of silage supply and demand, organize production and marketing docking, and meet breeding needs. According to Chen Shaohu, more than 90% of silage used in dairy farming is silage corn, and the rest include ryegrass, forage barley, etc. The feed value of silage wheat is only about 70% of that of silage corn, and the biological yield per mu is less than 50% of that of silage corn.
