Handle These Situations to Make High Quality Silage


It doesn't matter how strongly you plan and manage your silage production plans. However, some uncontrollable weather and wildlife can delay our plan to cover our crop or air-reintroduction time. If you are trying to fend off expected cases, you understand that uncontrollable situations like these can give you a tough time. Fortunately, we at Silage Agro have got some tips for you to handle even uncontrollable situations and produce high-quality silage.



How to control uncontrollable situations?

Let us look at the three everyday unexpected situations you can handle with our tips and produce high-quality sugarcane, corn, grass, and Wheat Silage.

Air stress issue

During storage, we must ensure that the farm atmosphere remains completely anaerobic so that the silage quality remains stable until we open it and feed it to our lovable animals. However, even if we apply the best management method, unpredictable conditions can allow air to work its way into your Silage Bales. Let's give you an example. Let's say unnoticeable holes that animals create or leak.

When the silage atmosphere becomes aerobic because of the above, many processes will happen, increasing the pH value and decreasing the DM and other valuable nutrients, suppressing the increase in pH. As a result, your silage will be full of nutrients.

Testing Silage Inoculants

When you apply suitable quality silage inoculants, you can get the perfect fermentation process, even when harvest conditions are not right. In addition, studies showed that using good quality inoculants successfully suppressed the increasing pH value due to animal attacks or leaks.

To prove this point, experts conducted experiments by creating such holes manually. The professionals got the exceptional result as the excellent quality inoculants helped the silage product reduce the pH value and improve taste and quality. So applying inoculants to your silage product is suitable for fermentation and is worth your time and money, and Silage Agro would advise you the same. 

Natural Intermediary Capacity

A silage crop is known for its high buffering capacity due to high levels of protein and ash. Unfortunately, this higher buffering capacity leads to the crop becoming a crop that's hard for you to ensile. The slower drop in pH in the front end of the fermentation also adds to the issue. There are many disadvantages of slow reduction in pH value. Let's take a look.

       A slow drop in pH increases the crop's time to prohibit synthetic protein degradation and harmful microorganisms like clostridia.

       The more time it takes to lower the silage's pH value, the more quality it will lose, and it will be near impossible for you to get back the desired quality.

       A lower rate of pH value reduction can damage the dry matter, which can harm your animals.

So to reduce pH value at a faster rate, you should use suitable quality inoculants, and you are good to go.
