Winter silage feeding technical points

Silage is a green and juicy feed preserved in fermented silage facilities (pits, crucibles, towers, bags) that have been fermented by lactic acid bacteria. Most of my county is made of corn.

When fed, feeding should be done less initially, then gradually increased to a sufficient amount to allow the animal to have an adaptive process. Cows should be added with baking soda in a timely manner. When the silage is fed, the pH value in the rumen of the cow is reduced and acidosis can easily occur. You can add 1.5% baking soda in the concentrate feed to promote gastric peristalsis, neutralize acidic substances in the stomach, increase feed intake, and increase digestibility. Conditional farmers can better mix the concentrate feed, silage, and hay to feed the livestock on a fully mixed diet. Frozen silage cannot be fed. This will not only reduce the production performance but also cause abortion of pregnant animals.

It is advisable to take one or more shots every morning and afternoon, and the thickness of the silage should be no less than 10 cm at a time to ensure that the silage is fresh, the palatability is good, the nutrient loss is reduced to the minimum, and the silage is fed Best results. Remove the silage can not be exposed to sunlight, do not bulk heap, scattered, it is best to use bags, placed in the cow house in the shade. After each withdrawal, the silage in the pit shall be re-drilled and then tightly sealed with a plastic cloth.

Precautions

1. Check whether the silage is mildewed. The quality silage is blue-green or yellow-green, with a sweet and sour taste, a strong scent of wine or a sour pear, and is soft and moist in the hands. If the feed turns black or brown, the smell is sour, sticky in the hands, or sticky and dry, it means that the silage has been mildewed, and the moldy silage cannot be fed.

2. If diarrhea is found during the feeding process, immediately reduce or stop the feeding. Check if silage is mixed with moldy material or cause diarrhea due to other diseases. Continue to feed until the animal returns to normal. Every day, clear the feeding trough, especially at the dead end, clean up the degraded silage and add fresh silage.

3. After silage is fed, the amount of concentrate feed should be reduced as appropriate depending on the animal's nyphus and other production performance, but it should not be reduced too much or too quickly. Silage pits should be strictly protected against rodents and some diseases should be transmitted to livestock.

4. Scientifically determine the amount of feed. The amount of silage fed should be determined based on the weight and use of the livestock. Adult cattle feed silage every 100 kilograms of body weight on a daily basis: lactating cattle 5 kg - 7 kg, finishing cattle 4 kg - 5 kg, serving cattle 4 kg - 4.5 kg, breeding bulls 1.5 kg - 2.0 kg; sheep feed every 100 kg of body weight on a daily basis Volume: 4 kg -5 kg ​​for adult goats, 0.4 kg -0.6 kg for lambs, and 1.5 kg - 3.0 kg for lactating ewes, 1.0 kg - 1.5 kg for young ewes and 1.0 kg for rams -1.5 kg; horses daily feed: horses can feed 12 kg - 15 kg per horse per day, and breed mares and cubs over 1 year old can feed 6 kg - 10 kg per day.

In addition, the following points should be noted when feeding silage: 1. Silage generally accounts for less than 50% of dry matter in the diet. 2. According to the amount of feed each day, how much to take, otherwise it is easy to rancid or mildew.

3. In winter, the temperature is low. When silage is fed in the morning, after the silage is taken out, the temperature should be raised and then fed.
