    How to make corn silage.
    Silage is the material produced by controlled fermentation, under anaerobic conditions, of chopped crop residues or forages with high moisture contents. Silage is produced by the activities of naturally-occurring bacteria that convert some of the plant sugars into organic acids that preserve nutritional qualities.

    Excellent video, thank you for the great work. Milky stage might be best if maize is drying faster, but the most recommend is "dough stage" when is 3/4 milk stage (that is when its on mahindi choma stage with a few cobs still milky), this stage you get most maize grain starch and at the same time keeping a green maize stalk. What is important we need to wait as much as we can for maize grain to foten(not mikly and not hard) i.e. "dough stage" but monitoring maize itself isikauke, that the best

    Nice video.
    silage is preservation of green fodder for later use.

    Pit dimensions for one acre maize farm

    • @FredDairyFarm
      @FredDairyFarm  Місяць тому +1

      1 ton (40 cubic feet) = 1.133 cubic metres.
      Cubic is length X Width X height..You calculate the amount of tonnes from one acre because it differs with how you planted,weather, and the seed quality used and spacing used.

    • @FredDairyFarm
      @FredDairyFarm  Місяць тому +1

      Poa sana.You first mix your silage with the fodder you used to feed before and increase feeding silage with time.You can also mix silage + nappier+ hay+ dairy meal and minerals to make a complete tmr.
