What is Silage?

Silage is a fermented feed resulting from the storage of high moisture crops under anaerobic conditions in a structure called as silo. In brief, Silage is a high moisture fodder that farmers use to feed their domestic animals, especially during the dry season. Made up of grass, corn, maize, and others, silages are made by chopping the crops into small pieces and then storing them.

The common methods used to store silages are silos, bunkers, silage bags and silage bales. Silos and bunkers are used when there are large quantities present, whilst bags and bales are used when there are only small quantities to be stored and can be transported to the nearby market/farms in a short time.

The silage is then fermented to provide feed for livestock. The fermentation process of silage is done in multiple phases and takes around 3 weeks to be completed. The process of fermentation is done to improve dry matter intake and create a more digestible feed.

Advantages of silage making:

• Silage preserves close to 85 percent of the nutrition value of the crops.
• Silage can ensure the supply of quality forage in the lean months and during droughts. When green production is in excess, it can be preserved for future use in the form of silage.
• Accommodates more dry weight of feed than a cubic foot of long hay stored in the heap.
