1. Hillage: low moisture silage is called hillage.
2. Withered silage: silage that is prepared with 70 to 60% moisture and is a good silage.
3. A well-prepared silage has an acidic smell.
4. If the ratio of carbohydrate to protein in silage is low, ammonia is produced.
5. Silo color is olive green or dark brown.
6. The appropriate pH limit of a good silage is 4.
7. The right time to harvest forage leguminous plants is from the beginning of flowering to full flowering.
8. The right time to harvest forage gramineous plants is the milky to pulpy stage of the seeds.
9. Salt is added to dry fodder, because:
(a) It prevents fodder from heating and moulding.
b) Fodder becomes more palatable.
10. The most resistant silage bacteria are lactobacilli, which ferment sugars and produce prussic acid and lactic acid.
11. Outlage is silage of oats, which has little moisture.
12. Silage material in which the pH reaches 2.4 is called stable silage material.
Note and experience of a rancher...
Ten years ago, I had filled my silage with hillage to some extent, but it was not smooth. In the morning, I started the tractor and turned on the fan for 15 minutes. Then I climbed the ladder and opened the doors that were level with the hillage. As soon as I opened the door I knew there was something wrong, I held my breath. I fell down from the ladder, luckily my worker was standing below the silo and took me away from the environment and gas of the silo and called the emergency. That day I was lucky in some ways. First, the silo was only filled to a height of 7 to 9 meters. Second, I held my breath after opening the silo doors. Third, a supporter (worker) was there to save me when I needed help. Many silos are filled to the top and many times there is no other person standing at the bottom of the silo. So prevention is a key factor when encountering gas. It is a silo.
Fermentation process
Fermentation can cause the formation of deadly gases in the silo. Turning on the blower before entering the silo is important, but not enough. After filling the silo, the forage level doors should be opened immediately. Since silo gases are heavier than air, opening the silo doors at the feed level allows the gases to escape from the chute as soon as they form.
Be sure to open the silo doors immediately after filling (even at night or when you have to stop work due to rain or machine breakdown). Opening the doors allows the heavier-than-air silo gases to escape. Meanwhile, by turning on a blower, if a door is open on the silage level, it can be ensured that the gas escapes.
When it comes to the dangers of silo gas, don't underestimate Hillage. I always thought that silage gas was caused by corn silage, but that day when I fell off the ladder I realized that this problem also occurs in silage filled with haylage.
Obviously, turning on the blower is important and should always be turned on before entering the silo, but in this experiment, opening the forage level doors is of particular importance. Be sure that if you do this immediately, you will not inhale the toxic silo gases. Opening the doors provides a way for toxic gases formed from the fermentation process to escape.
Considering the disadvantages of fodder silage, it is better to use a new fodder packaging machine to make silage, which has less durability and risks.
