What is the application of fodder corn silage packaging?
Silo packing fodder corn is one of the best ways to store corn for animal feed. This method makes corn not only available at any time and place, but also of higher quality. Packed silos are very uniform and uniform and prevent contamination and damage that may occur in traditional silos. Also, in terms of economy, the use of packed silos leads to a reduction in costs and an increase in livestock productivity. In short, silage packaging is an efficient solution with wide applications for the storage and use of fodder corn as animal feed.

How is silage production and consumption managed?
Animal feed and silage production have always been very important for humanity. Many of the foods we consume are produced directly or indirectly from livestock, and if the supply of these foods is not done well, we may face serious problems. Especially in cold and snowy seasons, providing fresh food for livestock faces many challenges. Therefore, various methods have been used to store animal feed since a long time ago. One of the most important methods is storing this food in the form of silage, which allows farmers to store and use a large amount of plants for livestock feed.

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.

What are the characteristics of triticale?
Triticale is a species of the cereal family, which was created from the crossing of bread wheat and rye. Morphologically, triticale is very similar to wheat. In this crossing, wheat was used as the mother plant and the pollen grains were derived from rye. Triticale has inherited the properties of cold resistance, adaptability to adverse environmental conditions, high lysine content and faster growth from rye and high protein percentage from wheat.

sunflower silage
Although sunflowers are commonly grown for seed production, they can also be used as a forage source for livestock. About one-third is the dry matter of the sunflower plant, so large amounts of potential forage are not used when grown for seed only. Stressed or low-yielding sunflowers can be profitable if used as a forage source for livestock. As a suitable alternative in drought conditions, sunflower forage is usually fed as silage and can be a valuable option.

Development of Khasil silage fodder, a step towards reducing water consumption
Iran is located in the arid and ultra-arid region of the world, and with climate changes, the temperature increases in the summer season. This increase in temperature increases evaporation and transpiration in the summer season. Therefore, a large part of the water used in the fields is spent for evaporation and transpiration. One solution to reduce water consumption in fodder production is to use fall grain silage forage.

What is sugar beet leaf silage?
With the arrival of the sugar beet harvest season, a large amount of leaves and rings are produced as agricultural waste in the beet fields. This waste can be used as animal feed and a part of it feeds them. The rest of the leaves and rings are returned to the soil as green manure.
