What is fodder corn silage?

Corn silage is used as a high quality fodder in many dairy farms and in some fattening farms. This product is very popular due to its high performance, good digestibility, high energy and ease of adaptation to mechanized harvesting and feeding. Fodder corn can be cultivated ideally in many regions of the country as a second crop after the fall crop. Ensiling is necessary to preserve harvested forage corn. The purpose of making silos is to preserve the harvested product by anaerobic (oxygen-free) fermentation. This process uses bacteria to convert soluble carbohydrates into acetic acid and lactic acid, or "souring" the product. In a completely sealed silo, the product can be preserved for a long time without losing quality. To produce a high quality silage, it is necessary to carefully plant, store and harvest silage corn.
