Hello Fred, let's say you didn't use any concetrates,will this napier silage have a sweet smell when opening it after 28days or 5days(if used Microbes)?. Would you do a video showing the results of napier silage as you did to that of maize stovers?.Thank you.
In most cases the smell comes from the fermentation process that is aided by molasses and other silage innoculants.The work of concentrates is just to add value to the silage.
How many Kilograms is the silage bag? Does it mean that you have to use the 20 litres of the mixture of molasses, microbes and water in each bag or package
Did mine sometimes back but i guess i didn't let the Napier to wither enough and looks like i used more water than it should so the results didn't come as expected but we live to try.
Thank you
@@JackLangat much welcome

How long does it take to start feeding the cows
@@JackLangat 5days when you use microbes and 28 days if no microbes was used
After how many days can silage be extracted from the bags?
@@ahmadsaeed6602 if you use livestock microbes,you can start using after 5 days.if not wait for 28 days
Where can I get the tupes( silage bags)
Hardware shop
The maize bran is from maize polishing the so called "muthokoi" will it still be nutritional?
okay.thank you
What stage was Napier cut. I mean after how many days you cut Napier. And what was the dry matter of Napier
i cut it at the height of 2-2.5 metres,i wilted it for four days and the dry matter was ranging from 20-25
How many Kilograms is the silage bag?
Does it mean that you have to use the 20 litres of the mixture of molasses, microbes and water in each bag or package
no....just you use little mixture as you can.Too much water will make the silage to rot.That mixture i use to make two bags
The same machine cost how much
i bought it at 38k
How many day need after sealing so I can use it to feed the Cow ?I mean how long it will be ready to feed ?
28 days.Some will tell you 21 days,but for better result make it 28.If you will be using molaplus microbes its just 3 days
you pour molases on top of silage or bottom
after every layer i compress and add/sprinkle molasses
Fred can you use maize germ from the local poshomill?
there is high probability of aflatoxins but u can use toxin binders.
Can you mix both maize and napier during silage making
Yes you can.and you will make a better silage.
Yes I do
Can l mix Napier grass with dry matter
Which dry matter: the best to add is either maize germ or bran
Good work bro
But how can I get the chaff cutter like yours and the price please
Mine is just like other.no difference at all.Maybe its the speed of the video that makes it seem diffrent
Why my chaff cutter not cutting fodder same like i can see in your video
as in fast or slow?
How long can this silage last?
I have not kept it for long but i had made one that i used after 8 months
This chopper is good,where can I get it from and how much I'm In Rwanda. Ok
Actually,its a normal one.All i have done is increasing the hose power of the motor
@@FredDairyFarm did you make it yourself
@@raphaelfrancis5902 No i bought it
Fred how much is that chopping machine
i bought it at 38k. but currently ranges between 45 to 48k
Did mine sometimes back but i guess i didn't let the Napier to wither enough and looks like i used more water than it should so the results didn't come as expected but we live to try.
sorry about that.We learn from others and through experience.Next time you will do better
Can i visit you in your farm
Currently there is no visitation but we can arrange if your sole intention is to learn.I can offer what i have experienced so far
