Silage Grass silage This is grass stored under seal. What is important with the storing is that, it’s no air, and make it warm for a better and quicker conservation A farmer says to us: ”use acids to make the pH lower, and there will be a better conservation, so there are no mineral losses”. If it comes air in to the silage it will cause yeast, and mould, there will be a lot of minerals losses. The more water is in the grass, how low the PH. It’s very important to have a dry place to store it. Silage is a good fodder because of the good taste. The water continent is larger, its more energy per unit of weight than hay. “With a level 35% of dry matter is the optimum level for grass silage” the farmers says.
Maize silage The maize has since the beginning of the years seventy an enormous grow gone through. That has to make especially with the qualities of animal food of the plant. Corn furnishes a particular energy realm lead that excellent justest in the modern ration. It is with large
The maize silage has got the same process as with the grass. They putt in also under seal. ”it’s very good food when you feed grass silage, because it’s compare the protein in the grass” told a farmer. The difference between grass and maize is the nutrients, in maize there is 8-10% of protein but the cow needs about 13-15%. That means that the maize has got much less proteins. But the maize has got a lot of energy therefore it is not to good to use only maize.
