BUNKER / PIT SILAGE MAKING

10 DAYS HARD PROCESS FOR 356 DAYS GREEN FORAGE SOLUTION

Silage-making is a fermentation process aimed at preserving forage in its wet state away from air. One is seeking to lose minimum dry matter and nutritional value and to avoid creating products toxic to the animal. Good silage is light brown in colour, has a sharp taste and little smell as its lactic acid content is right. It is very stable and can be kept for years if required

1.USE BEST QUALITY HIGH SPEED (1600RPM), with Cut & Pack Technology

2.USE EFFECTIVE AND RESERCH PROVEN INOCULANT

Pioneer® brand 11C33 is a corn silage inoculant product designed to:

Improve animal performance over Pioneer® brand 1132.
Improve silage quality providing low terminal pH and desirable

VFA profile.

Reduce heating, increasing bunklife.

3.CUT THE CHAFF (CORN/HAY)

AT THE IDEAL TIME TO GET MAXIMUM PROTEIN PER ACRE

Ideal cutting time for kernel: When the kernels vary between milky and mature. Line of milk between 1/3 to ½ is optimum

Ideal moisture content at cutting corn 67-72%

4.CUTTING LENGTH OF SILAGE

is important to ensure adequate compaction of silage , Reccommended size of cutting 13 mm and 5 mm , for better results mix the both sizes of cut , to ensure more compaction, Choose chaff cutter that unable variable length sizes.

5.AIR IS A BAD VIRUS FOR SILAGE

Collect forage which is not earth-soiled, start feeding in silage machine. , hydrulic compactation is the best

Film should be UV STABILIZED COLOR BLACK & WHITE

6. COMPACT SILAGE BY TRACTOR /VIDHATA SILOPACK IN BOTH DIRECTION

USE TRACTOR WITH NARROW WHEELS WHEN COMPACTING

OR USE SIMPLE VIDHATA SILOPACK 8D OR 4D MODELS

The speed of compactation depends on tractor weight.

Tractor weight

3000 kg / 6 ton silage / hr

6000 kg / 15 tons silage / hr

7. QUICKLY FILL THE BUNKER

The shorter the time to close the bunker, better the quality of the final product

BEST TIME TO CLOSE BUNKER 16HRS

USE HIGH SPEED CHAFF CUTTER THAT FILL BUNKER QUICKLY

8. COVER THE BUNKER WITH A WEATHER RESISTANT TRAP AFTER THE CHAFF IS COMPACTED

Cover the trap with old tures or other weights to seal the silage, avoiding the entrance of air, water , radents and other

contaminants

9. EXTRACT THE SILAGE REMOVING A MINIMUM OF 6” PER DAY OR USE A MOLD INHIBITOR ON THE EXPOSED FACE

10. REMOVE SPOILED AND MOLDY SILAGE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF MYCOTOXIN CONTAMINATION

Suitable crops for making hay

Crops with thin stems and more leaves are better suited for haymaking as they dry faster than those with thick, pity stem and small leaves. These may include Oats, Desmodium, Lucerne, Maize, Sorghum, Napier grass, Rhodes grass. Leguminous fodder crops (e.g. Cow pea, Lucerne, etc) should be harvested at the flower initiation stage or when crown buds start to grow. Grasses and similar fodder crops should be harvested at the pre-flowering stage. At this stage, the crop has maximum nutrients and green matter. After flowering and seeding, grasses contain fewer nutrients. In order to make the process of curing easier, the fodder should preferably be harvested when air humidity is low.
