SILAGE PREPARATION


Year after year many cows in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world die of starvation.
Whenever the dry season lasts just a little longer than usual thousands of livestock are lost due to starvation more so lack of feed. Production decreases resulting to great loses in agricultural returns.
Over centuries farmers in the colder regions of the world have learned to cope with winters when not a single blade of grass will grow for months on end. Their continued success can be attributed to long term storage and conservation of forages and meticulous planning.

And curiously enough, it is only in the world’s really hot regions that the quality and feeding value of forages can actually be improved through conservation! Meaning that you can feed more cows, who will give more milk, with the same amount of silage compared to the original forage you started out with!
You think this is impossible?

BELOW IS A SIMPLE METHOD OF SILAGE PREPARATION WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED FOR SOME FARMERS 

NOTE
When not done properly silage will completely spoil or even become harmful to your animals, so my advise is consult where you are not sure and or see a more experienced farmer who has succeeded in the "Art of silage making" and follow his advise!
