6/14/2023 0 Comments Silo farmsWith well-ensiled material in anaerobic storage, the quality and palatability of the feed is maintained until the material is exposed to oxygen, which causes silage to deteriorate quickly. Under normal conditions, silage-producing microbial fermentation produces lactic and acetic acids until acidity is such that growth of all micro-organisms stops (after 2-3 weeks). High-moisture grains (eg, whole-shelled, ground-shelled and ground ear corns and barley) go through the same fermentation process as silage but contain far less water. Whole-plant corn silage (30-35% dry matter) is made by chopping the entire plant finely (1-2 cm) haylage is silage composed of wilted grass or alfalfa dried to 35-50% dry matter, again chopped finely. Silage is formed by microbial fermentation of plant material under anaerobic (oxygen-free) or near-anaerobic conditions. Silos are a common fixture in livestock and mixed-farming operations across Canada.
