Sorghum bicolor/Sorghum young plants contain poisonous chemical. The crop at early stages contains Hydrocyanic Acid or Dhurin. HCN in excess of 200ppm concentration is toxic to animals. Hence, harvesting should not be done prior to 45 days from sowing. Heavy nitrogen fertilisation and water stress increases HCN content. Silage of bay making removes the toxin. In summer , irrigation before harvest may be effective in reducing HCN. Danger of HCN poisoning is greatest at immature stages of sorghum growth and decreases with maturity. Dhurin levels ard most potent jn young plants under 6 weeks old , yohng regrowth , high soil nitrogen level , drought. Usually cutting the plants & chopping & sun-curing czn rdduce HCN levels because the HCN cañ evaporate with the loss in forage moisture. . . .

Feeding Of Sugar Cane Silage To Dairy Cattle During The Dry Season

The dry season is when there is no rain, and you face challenges in growing crops and making Promaize Silage or any other silage for cows. However, during that time, sugarcane silage is readily available, so if you stock up on those, you can feed ample nutrients to your cows. Today, we at Silage Agro Private Limited will tell you about it.

An overview of feeding sugarcane silage during the dry season

According to research, it was indicated that during the dry season, we could feed sugarcane silage to our lactating cows.

Studies found that doing so will give you a similar milk yield to grass silage or chopped whole sugarcane.

The studies also found that feeding grass silage to dairy cows during the dry season will result in more weight loss, which is not suitable for the health of your dairy ruminants.

The results lead us to another question, is sugarcane suitable for silage? So let’s answer that.

Is sugarcane suitable for silage?

Generally, we cultivate the sugarcane plant for sugar or ethanol production. However, it can also be used to make sugarcane silage. It has some good nutritional values, which we will discuss later, but not as good as Corn Silage Bales.

Overall, it’s an excellent silage to keep as a reserve for feeding during the dry season.

Nutritional values of sugarcane silage

The ideal nutritional values in 1 Kilogram of sugarcane silage are as follows. Please note that these are approximate values; the actual values can be anywhere around these quantities.

The ideal Dry Matter or DM is 32%.

The perfect Crude Protein or CP is 7%.

The ideal Acid Detergent Fiber or ADF is between 30 and 40%.

The perfect Neutral Detergent Fiber or NDF is between 40 and 60%.

The excellent sugar content in sugarcane silage is between 30 and 40%.

Check with your silage supplier with these values. If it’s too far away or too much than the ones we gave above, then don’t buy silage from your supplier.

Advantages of sugarcane silage for cows

Now let’s see the benefits of sugarcane silage for lactating and non-lactating dairy cows.

Available in the dry season: This silage is available during the dry season when any other fodder is scarce. So, it works as an excellent nutritional supplement during that time.

High energy: Cows, especially lactating cows, need the power to function and produce milk yield. Sugarcane silage provides the energy your dairy cows need.

Good for overall health: Lactating cows lose energy quickly and have already lost some strength due to calf birth. During that time, sugarcane silage helped restore the power needed. It also keeps the cows in good health. That wraps up our blog by Silage Agro Private Limited.

Long-Term Storing Silage Bales: How To Do It?

So, you have made high-quality corn, sugarcane, or Wheat Silage for your dairy cows. That’s great, and now it is time for storage. Most people think that how we store silage doesn’t play a crucial part, people who are not knowledgeable yet, that is. However, it is possible to keep fodder for the long-term and still not lose its amount of nutrients. Store the Sugarcane Silage right, and you can preserve its quality and nutrients for decades. Thus you will have a surplus for the dry season. However, your fodder will lose quality and nutrients if the storage goes wrong. In this blog, we, Silage Agro Private Limited, will tell you about the long-term storing of silage bales. Here’s how to do it.

Silage storage techniques you need to know about

Conventionally there are five techniques to storeCorn Silage For Sale. Below, we have listed these for your reference.

Wrapped Bales.

Above-Ground Stacks or Buns.

Above-Ground Bunkers.

Hillside Pits.

Underground Pits.

The first three on our list are short-term silage storage options. Using these, you can store silage for up to 3 years. So these are ruled out. However, in a hillside pit, your fodder can last up to 26 years, which is more than enough.

If you have hills or big enough hilly areas, you can store your silage for a long time. Underground storage pits are another excellent option for the long term. However, you need to dig a big hole to make it work the best in your favor. Please note a few points here.

The success of long-term silage storage depends on how well it is protected from air and other contamination.

The above reason makes underground pits the perfect choice, being completely sealed off, low cost, and offering long-term storage.

What if I have already stored my silage?

If that’s the case, you can let it stay there unless it's baled. In the latter case, you can still dig pits to put bales in. However, if making a pit is impossible, we recommend you cover the bales in another layer of plastic for added protection and extended shelf life up to a few more years. 

Other tips for long-term storing wrapped bales

Before we conclude as Silage Agro Private Limited, here are a few more expert tips for storing your wrappedCorn Silage Bales for a long time.

Stack the bales in a secure location as soon as possible after wrapping. It’s because wrapped bales on your farm are prone to damage from livestock and wildlife.

We recommend you transport and store bales with the most plastic against the ground. You should always store round bales on the flat side.

You should use high-quality bale wrap. We recommend a higher-quality wrap with UV resistance. Doing so will ensure that the wrap remains effective without breaking down due to harsh climates.

In conclusion, storing silage long-term is possible if you know the correct method. Now you know it. We hope you can use this information to the maximum potential. Thank you for reading.

Silage Intake And Digestibility: All You Need To Know About

Making corn, wheat, or Sugarcane Silage and checking its quality is one thing, but knowing the intake and digestibility is another essential factor, especially when it comes to feeding it to your cows. Learning the fundamentals of silage intake and digestibility is also necessary to determine its effects on your dairy farm cattle. That’s what we want, high silage digestibility and intake for our cattle. Let us at Silage Agro Private Limited  find out all about silage intake and digestibility and how we can increase it.

Factors determining silage intake and digestibility

The intake of silage is usually lower than that of fresh forage. It is because of the cows’ habits of roaming around and grazing on fresh grass. Here are some other reasons why our cows’ have low intake for silage.

The presence of toxic substances created during the fermentation procedure as amino acids.

High concentrations of organic acids and reduced water-soluble carbohydrate content decrease energy availability for the growth of microorganisms in our cows’ rumens.

The solution: Rajpura Silage recommends properly managing the ensiling process to produce well-preserved fodder. Adding silage additives can increase intake values, but these can affect digestibility, so we don’t recommend using chemicals. Remember, there should be a natural balance between silage intake and digestibility.

Dry Matter (DM): Dry Matter or DM is the essential part of fodder your cows consume, but it is the part most people ignore when making silage. A misconception is that the higher the DM, the more intake. However, the ideal DM is 30-40%.

Silage Quality: Not only does this factor affect the intake of sugarcane, corn, or Wheat Silage, but it also affects digestibility. Let’s discuss some points regarding this.

Poor quality silage will smell foul and taste bad, which results in low intake.

It affects digestibility and can create health issues in your cows.

Quality silage tastes and smells good, increasing your cows' intake and digestibility, meaning more consumption and nutritional benefits.

This concludes our blog on silage intake and digestibility. We at Silage Agro Private Limited hope you got valuable information from it. Thank you for reading.

Making quality silage: 4 measures you never knew existed

The first rule of making Silage is that once you make a batch of Silage in a year, it becomes an essential ingredient for your feeding program. So if you make poor quality silage in a year, your next year’s feeding schedule will be ruined. In short, silage quality matters. On the other hand, a year of good weather and your excellent silage management skills, when applied, can yield top-quality fodder and perfect health and performance for your cattle.

We deal with many factors daily, which are out of our control, and Silageis one of those elements. However, we can control if we understand the elements of growing, chopping, and ensiling Silage. In that case, it can make all the difference between a year of dealing with forage problems and handling borderline milk yield and a year of perfect ruminant health, performance, and prosperity.

In this post, we will know how to make quality Silage, but different from usual. We promise you haven’t heard of these four measures ideal for producing excellent quality corn silage for sale.

Begin with quality

To make excellent quality silage, you must focus on it from the beginning. We at Silage Agro Private Limited mean that you need to keep the following factors in mind when buying or choosing seeds to make fodder.

Yield potential.

Digestibility.

Grain content.

Proper moisture and maturity

The bottom line is we need toHarvest our crops at the proper maturity and moisture content, neither too high nor too low. Patanjali Silage recommends 65-68% approximate moisture for corn silage.

Chopping silage at too high moisture: The following will happen.

DM losses.

Protein degradation.

Highly butyric acid concentrations.

Decreased palatability.

Chopping Silage at too low moisture: You will face these consequences.    

Decreased packing potential.

Decreased density, leading to increased spoilage, mold growth, and mycotoxins.

Please note that the chop length also matters. Silage Agro Private Limited suggests 6 inches for corn silage.

Storing and filling the harvest

 Whether using high HP, self-propelled choppers, and custom operating tools to fill the silage piles or manually, if we cannot correctly pack and preserve the fodder, all our effort is useless.

Remember, you need to tightly pack the Silage as it comes and not wait until the pile is complete with tightening and preserving it.  

We need to be patient

Finally, be patient. Fermentation takes time, and opening the Corn Silage Bales at least 4-6 weeks before feed out is optimum. If it is okay with you, we suggest opening the piles 3-6 months after harvest.

With that, we conclude our blog post. I hope you got valuable information from it. Now it is time for you to gear up and make the tastiest and healthiest Silage for your cows. Thank you for reading.

The Applications Of Different Types Of Silages

We have mentioned a few times now that Silage is available in various delicious flavors for your dairy farm animals. However, did you know that all these have different applications too? Well, as Silage Agro Private Limited, we will discuss the applications of different types of silages today.

Corn Silage

Corn Silage is a well-known and preferred fodder because of many reasons, such as:

Corn Silage Bales are high in energy.

It is high in digestibility.

Corn Silage is easily adapted to mechanization from the standing crop to feed-out time.

Many dairy farms and some beef farms around the world use corn silages. It is also available as ready-to-eat fodder as NutriMeal Silage or any other name, depending on the manufacturer. 

Advantages of corn silage

It can be fed to cows, buffaloes, and bulls.

Keep your ruminants healthy.

Increases milk yield.

Suitable for lactating cows.

Sugarcane Harvest

Generally, it is a significant byproduct of the sugarcane industry, left in the field after the cane harvest. However, the way it (the top has been removed) is harvested results in essential variations in the composition, especially for neutral detergent solubles or nitrogen-free extractives such as Sugarcane Silage.

The trash from sugarcane harvest is also a nutritious product, which we can convert to Silage by following the correct processes.

Advantages of Sugarcane Silage

It is loaded with fiber and low in crude protein.

It is high in Dry Matter (DM) digestibility and Organic Matter (OM) digestibility.  

Wheat Silage

We have recently observed that Wheat Silage has become a preferred feed for dairy cows for many reasons.

Wheat can provide a fall-cover crop or fall-cover pasture.

Your ruminants can feed on it or graze it in the fall with little or no effect on grain or forage output in the upcoming spring.

Advantages of Wheat Silage

We, Silage Agro Private Limited, have collected the advantages of wheat silage for you. Please look at the benefits your cattle get when you feed wheat Silage.

You can use it as an in-between feed when you run out of last year’s fodder and haven’t harvested this year’s crop.

If you properly feed your ruminants wheat silage with a balanced ration, it can be helpful to increase or maintain the high protein in the milk yield.    

Other types of Silage

There are other silage types, too, other than the four we mentioned. We can’t completely ignore these. So here’s a list of the various healthy and tasty silage products for your farm animals.

Grass Silage.

Alfalfa Silage.

Sorghum Silage.

Tropical grass Silage.

Wood Silage.

Oat Silage.

Rye Silage.

Pea Silage.

This concludes our blog on silage applications. Thank you for reading.

Is Silage a Complete Feed for Medium Milk-yielding Cows?

In recent years, feeding silage to dairy cattle such as cows and buffaloes has become a significant trend as it has many benefits, which some of you already know about. In addition, it is a good choice for medium milk-yielding cows. But the question is, is silage a complete fodder for medium milk-yielding cows? We will find out in this post. 

Benefits of feeding silage to cows

In this section, as Silage Agro Private Limited, we will look at the benefits of feeding silage to dairy cows and buffaloes.

Silage is good for the health of cows, buffaloes, and ruminants.

This fodder is tasty and smells good, so the cattle eat more and gain more nutrients.

It increases milk yield in cows and buffaloes.

It is easily digestible, and thus your cattle can consume it without worrying about digestibility issues.

Suitable for the health of lactating cows.

Ideal for the growth of calves. Studies show that calves fed silage regularly grows into healthy and strong cows. 

How much silage can we feed to a cow?

Another fact we need to know about feeding Promaize Silage to cows is the maximum silage we can provide at a time. To give you a simple answer, this depends on the ruminant's Dry Matter (DM) intake needs, which directly depends on its milk yield. We need to keep the following things in mind, though, when feeding silage.

We must adjust the energy and protein our cows can consume.

Remember, the DM intake in cows and buffaloes depends on how much NDF is in the feed.

If the silage contains more NDF, the correct strategy is to reduce the DM intake.

Please Note: The above strategy is significant for fresher cows (recently calved) because, in these ruminants, we need to push the DM against the psychological impacts of calving, changing the rumen microflora, and rapidly urgent energy requirements. Remember that the cow is in the most crucial stage, and if proper feeding and care are not provided, milk yield can be seriously affected.

Additional tips: If you are cultivating and producing your silage, it is wise to adjust the maximum energy and NDF needs from silage. However, adding dry straw or hay and high-energy density ingredients is necessary to meet the DM requirements.

Feeding Baled Silage : All You Need To Know

Silage comes in many forms, such as ready-to-eat, packed, or bales. Silage bales are the most common among dairy farmers as these are readily available. First, however, you must know how to unwrap and feed it correctly.

Rules for feeding baled silage

You need to follow these guidelines when feeding Silage Bales to your cattle and ruminants. These guidelines also include what you should never do when feeding baled silage. 

You should ensure that the storage site does not increase the probability of exposure to air. Some storage places increase the likelihood of punctures to the plastic wrap.

Examples include areas near trees having dropped limbs, rodents, or numerous varmint dens or that are freshly mowed and have coarse weed stubble. Many of these sites make punctures, which remain unnoticed until it is too late.

Ensure that the forage is 50-65% moisture before you wrap and ensile it. Baling the fodder when the crop is too dry is the most typical issue because the field may begin with the proper humidity and end up too dry. Dry forage does not offer the bacteria enough moisture to allow enough fermentation.

However, it does allow fungi to grow during storage and feeding, which can lead to deterioration. Baling Wheat Silage too wet is less common, but high-moisture silage quickly spoils when exposed to air. You should avoid excessive moisture in the forage, such as little to no wilting before baling, as it may lead to clostridial spoilage or botulism.

Don’t spear or puncture into the bales before feeding. We at Silage Agro recommend the use of squeeze carriers or handlers. But make sure to use this equipment carefully, as the risk of the bales being stretched, torn, or punctured is still there. Any cut in the plastic barrier can lead to small parts or even the entire bales deteriorating.

To feed a bale, which you wrap using an inline wrapper, spear into it, lift, and pull away, which will tear away the plastic between it and the next bale. Next, you need to scissor over the top and peel the plastic cover off in one large section.

When feeding out a separately wrapped bale, you need to cut a large X in the end, which you will spear and pull back the flaps. In this case, we will penetrate the bale, lift, and slash across the top and down the other flat part, which should peel the plastic off in one piece. You should remove the net wrap or twine before feeding in both scenarios.

Wastage and refusal are rarely an issue when you feed your cows baled silage unless you feed one to too few animals. If the fodder remains after feeding, use a fresh bale for the next intake.

If you force your cows to eat waste or refused silage, it will lead to poor performance and health issues. You can usually determine and adjust the bale size on the baler.

You should not feed bales you wrapped with an inline baler at least 4-6 weeks after wrapping unless you plan to feed all bales within just a few days.  

Never leave the silage uncovered in the air for more than two days during feeding. If the daytime temperature exceeds 60 degrees Fahrenheit, don’t leave it exposed for more than a day.

So now you know everything about feeding baled silage and should be able to feed it to your cattle properly. If you want the best Corn silage For Sale, contactSilage Agro Private Limited.

Feeding Hygienic Silage All You Need To Know About

The most important thing about any fodder, whether wheat, sugarcane, or Corn Silage for cows, is that it has to be of excellent quality. Otherwise, your ruminants won’t get all the supposed benefits. But how can we make the best quality silage? Here’s all you need to know about creating and feeding hygienic silage to your cattle.

An overview of quality maintenance in silage

If you use it in the best way possible. In that case, the ensiling procedure should retain as many valuable nutrients and DM from the original forage crop as possible because the silage quality cannot be improved once it's harvested.

Furthermore, even in excellent functions, unfortunate catastrophes may impact silage quality. Sometimes, the weather doesn’t cooperate to hit the perfect harvest window, or your tools may break when you least expected it. However, even in less ideal scenarios, there are options for handling unhygienic silage.

The most effective way we, as Punjab Silage Private Limited, handle spoiled silage is not to let it happen in the first place. Let’s see below.

Preventing worst-case scenarios

You will feed hygienic Promaize Silage to your cattle if it's sterile in the first place. Here’s how to prevent the worst-case situations.

Develop emergency plans: If the situation we discussed earlier is unexpected, you should also have prepared solutions. Yes, we are talking about plans B, C, and D. You know the rest. 

Evaluate Silage color and smell: The smell and color of your silage can tell you the spoilage level of the Silage Bales. Take a look below.

If it smells like vinegar and is yellowish, it’s because of acetic acid production.

If it looks normal but smells like alcohol, it’s because of yeast production.

If it smells sharp and sweet but looks normal, the cause is probably propionic acid production.

If it looks greenish, smelling like rancid butter, it is the doing of butyric acid.

The silage smells like tobacco or caramel and appears anything from dark brown to black. It's because of the high temperature.

So the key here is that your silage should smell and appear normal.

Throw it away, if needed: There is no return on Investment or enhancement possible on visibly moldy silage. It’s a wise idea to throw it away, as feeding it even in small amounts can cause reproduction and digestion problems.

Dilute and feed to a less sensitive group: A simple fact is that feeding spoiled silage in high amounts to productive cattle will result in decreased yield. It is because your cows and buffaloes will eat less and won’t produce much milk. However, you can try feeding it to non-lactating younger cows. But, again, it’s essential to use the best silage management practices.  

Support the rumen: Even if you fail to notice that your silage is spoiled, it’s never too late to take action. We recommend that you halt feeding unhygienic silage immediately and arrange for a silage evaluation. The group of experts will also tell you how to improve silage quality. Your rumen health will also improve faster the sooner you take this step.

Balancing the Silage Ration for Better Rumen Health

New silage analysis from across the nations has shown us that the nutrition analysis is varying. It can make feeding challenges come your way this autumn, and you need to consider some needs to be given to balance the ration and optimize your cows' rumen health and keep the performance of your ruminants going for longer.

Why do you need to balance rations?

You must consider including bioavailable fibers to support milk yield and quality to assure that you don't see the influence in the milk tank itself, with lower butterfat and protein levels. So we at Silage Ludhiana, a branch of Silage Agro, will discuss how to balance your cows' diet to maintain rumen health.    

Is a yeast supplement worth your consideration?

It is a benefit considering a yeast supplement to support your cow's rumen microbial population and boost digestion of the fiber in NutriMeal Silage, thusimproving butter fats. In addition, buffers provide highly organic forms of magnesium. It means that more is available for your cow (and less for you.), and you see a consecutive performance response, with a rise in butterfat and thin protein percentage.

Silage Agro believes that the quality and bioavailability of any mineral supplement depends on the source, the processing, and whether it's natural or cabinated.          

Aiding rumen health during changes in ration

In a high-quality yeast supplement, magnesium is more than 75% bioavailable. Including such things in your ruminant's diet will surely help rumen health during ration changes, such as moving from grazing to giving silage in sheds or changing silage pits to increase height butterfat amounts up to and retain high milk yields.

Rich early cut silage, which has high lactic acid, concentrates above 70g per kg, can also cause rumen health problems, and so a top-quality yeast supplement can work here too. You should watch out for loose muck, cud-balls, and decreased butterfat levels, which can all be signs of acidosis, which is an expensive issue for you.

As an impact of the lower and over variable protein levels in silage, there might be more minor levels of rumen degradable protein in the diet. Therefore, to prevent any influence on your cow's milk yield, quality and to support protein efficiency, you may require to compliment rations with ample rumen degradable protein.

Balancing diets and being cost-efficient

There is favorable instability in protein sources when it's about price, accessibility, sustainability, and environmental stress, to remain cost-effective, it's crucial for you to consider a balanced diet and the overall supplies' price in comparison to what milk yield it can aid than the price of single raw stuff or complex feed.

When you consider protein efficiency, you must also check to ensure ample bypass protein, sufficient rumen degradable protein, and equal proportions of amino acids.

Do all this, and your cow's rumen health will always be tip-top. And if you need any supply of high-quality silage, our Silage Seller is always near your reach.

Handle These Situations to Make High Quality Silage

It doesn't matter how strongly you plan and manage your silage production plans. However, some uncontrollable weather and wildlife can delay our plan to cover our crop or air-reintroduction time. If you are trying to fend off expected cases, you understand that uncontrollable situations like these can give you a tough time. Fortunately, we at Silage Agro have got some tips for you to handle even uncontrollable situations and produce high-quality silage.

How to control uncontrollable situations?

Let us look at the three everyday unexpected situations you can handle with our tips and produce high-quality sugarcane, corn, grass, and Wheat Silage.

Air stress issue

During storage, we must ensure that the farm atmosphere remains completely anaerobic so that the silage quality remains stable until we open it and feed it to our lovable animals. However, even if we apply the best management method, unpredictable conditions can allow air to work its way into your Silage Bales. Let's give you an example. Let's say unnoticeable holes that animals create or leak.

When the silage atmosphere becomes aerobic because of the above, many processes will happen, increasing the pH value and decreasing the DM and other valuable nutrients, suppressing the increase in pH. As a result, your silage will be full of nutrients.

Testing Silage Inoculants

When you apply suitable quality silage inoculants, you can get the perfect fermentation process, even when harvest conditions are not right. In addition, studies showed that using good quality inoculants successfully suppressed the increasing pH value due to animal attacks or leaks.

To prove this point, experts conducted experiments by creating such holes manually. The professionals got the exceptional result as the excellent quality inoculants helped the silage product reduce the pH value and improve taste and quality. So applying inoculants to your silage product is suitable for fermentation and is worth your time and money, and Silage Agro would advise you the same.

Natural Intermediary Capacity

A silage crop is known for its high buffering capacity due to high levels of protein and ash. Unfortunately, this higher buffering capacity leads to the crop becoming a crop that's hard for you to ensile. The slower drop in pH in the front end of the fermentation also adds to the issue. There are many disadvantages of slow reduction in pH value. Let's take a look.

● A slow drop in pH increases the crop's time to prohibit synthetic protein degradation and harmful microorganisms like clostridia.

● The more time it takes to lower the silage's pH value, the more quality it will lose, and it will be near impossible for you to get back the desired quality.

● A lower rate of pH value reduction can damage the dry matter, which can harm your animals.

So to reduce pH value at a faster rate, you should use suitable quality inoculants, and you are good to go.

Get The Most From The Silage Bales With The Right Storage Strategy

The moment farmers bale their silage, losses start. If farmers do not adequately look into it, the losses can become large, becoming a big issue. On the other hand, appropriately protecting their silage bales from elements such as heat, air, etc., can reduce the losses and make the fodder last longer. So what’s the best solution?

Causes of loss in silage bales

So the big question before handing over the solution is what causes these losses? Here’s the answer. When farmers bare big round silage bales to moisture and directly store them on the ground, it can lead to large-scale losses from water attack, spoilage, pest, and disease problems. High-humidity environments can also spoil these bales quickly if left uncovered.

Another factor that affects dry matter losses is the amount of rainfall on unprotected bales. However, rainfall is not the only factor that farmers should consider when predicting DM losses. Microbial respiration can also affect DM losses. It occurs when carbohydrates in the crop combine with oxygen to create carbon dioxide, water, and heat.

Also, note that cool, dry, and sunny conditions are safe for silage bales and not extended cycles of warm, humid, and cloudy atmosphere.

How much loss can occur?

Farmers should know that silage bales stored directly and unprotected on the ground for storage longevity, which can last between 6 months and 20 years, can result in a loss of 37% per bale. The loss primarily comes from the outer bale sections, where fodder is more open to the elements. Farmers can do these things to reduce such losses.

● Farmers can cover bales on the ground to decrease the loss by about 19%.

● They can also cover and lift the bales to reduce the loss to around 8%.

● The best way to decrease the loss is by storing bales inside. It makes the loss only 6%.

But here’s the catch, the above methods come with a cost, and one of them is storage loss. To put it simply, the more silage that farmers lose in storage, the more crops they need to harvest to make silage for winter.

For example, if a 1200 pound bale is 150 rupees per ton, a 30% loss would make a bale worth 90 rupees will be worth 63 rupees only.

The solutions

Here are the solutions that farmers were waiting for and rightfully deserve.

Silage bales’ location

Farmers should start protecting their bales even before they are out of the farmlands. The key to reducing the bale’s suffering is to tighten it as much as possible. To put it simply, the tighter the silage bales, the lower the losses. In addition, when compressing their bales, they should strengthen the outer layer as it is the most exposed to the weather.

Farmers can also minimize silage loss by placing the bales correctly outside; they should check that the location has proper drainage. Also, it should provide a gap between the ground and the bale to bar moisture absorption. Here are some valuable tips.

● Farmers should store their bales end-to-end.

● They should put the bales together as compactly as possible in lines.

● If farmers require over 1 line, they should ensure a 3 feet distance between the lines.

Options for covering the bales

There are various options for farmers to cover their bales; they can use plastic tarps, bale wraps, and sleeves that provide different levels of protection from rainfall. Even though wraps are costlier than tarps, the former offers better protection. Breathable net wraps are also available that keep the bales dense, but they are not full waterproofs. Plastic wraps are better.

Cost factors

Twine is the cheapest bale cover. The cost increases with net wrap, tarp and plastic wraps being the costliest, but remember; the cheaper it is, the more turns it requires to cover the bale completely. A twine requires 20-30 turns, while a net wrap can do the job in 1 and a half of a turn. An ideal wrapping solution is a net wrap with six layers of plastic wrap.

Balancing costs and silage value: -Farmers should decide their strategies based on acceptable loss, protection costs, and storage time.

Why Is Corn Silage India’s No 1 Choice For Cattle Health?

All of us worry about our cattle's health. It is because healthy cattle are the backbone of every dairy farm. We must work hard to keep our dairy animals' health good, from a healthy environment to pleasant surroundings and the best feed. Everything needs to be perfect.

And when it comes to the best feed, Promaize Silage, commonly known as corn silage, is India's number one choice. We at Silage Agro Private Limited will tell you the many reasons for it.

Benefits Of Corn Silage In Dairy Cattle

Digestible: - Unlike other feed and fodder, corn silage is 100% more digestible for ruminants and other dairy animals.

It is because of the excellent fermentation that makes the end product safe for your ruminants' digestive system. That way, it is suitable for your cattle's health as well.

Provides the Necessary Nutrients: - if we look at ourselves, we also need the right amount of nutrients to stay healthy and fit. However, if the nutrient intake is too much, we will become fat, and if it is too little, we will become underweight. Both the scenarios are not suitable for our health. So we need to eat a balanced diet.

Similarly, Corn Silage has all the nutrients our cattle need for good health and productivity in the correct amounts, making it a balanced diet. But, of course, you can also feed it with other fodder in drought and floods.

It Tastes Good: - Let's face it, our children are picky when it comes to food. Our kids will not eat anything that tastes bad according to our kids' mindset. So when it comes to feeding children, we always need to prepare food that tastes yummy.

Similarly, our cattle are like little children. Our dairy animals will not eat non-yummy feed. However, corn silage tastes good because of the fresh crops we use to make it and the fermentation. So we can ensure that when you feed your cattle corn silage, you will notice an increase in intake. Thus it solves your cattle hunger problems.

Increases Immunity: - We have observed that not only corn silage keeps your farm animals in good health, but it also protects against diseases that frequently happen in cattle by increasing your cattle's immunity, resulting in fewer visits to vets.

It is because it has high amounts of energy and nutrients that directly affect your cattle's rumen, the organ that digests food.

Increases Milk Production: - Corn silage improves protein metabolism in cows and buffaloes. Protein metabolism is the process by which ruminants convert feed protein into milk, so if it is improved, your dairy cattle will produce high-quality milk in higher amounts, which is beneficial for your farm.

Suitable for Lactating Cows: - The cows produce milk between two calving periods. This milk production time is known as lactation. We must take good care of our cows during this time as cows are at risk of health hazards during this time; you keep in mind the above points, corn silage is good for lactating cows' health.

As we keep in mind all these benefits of corn silage, we, as Silage Agro Private Limited, created NutriMeal Silage, India's first branded and packed silage product with all the benefits of corn silage in a ready-to-use pack.

THE MIRACULOUS MEAL FOR DAIRY FARMING- SILAGE

Dairy farming is a tough occupation. The dairy farmers have to work very hard to get a profit. So today we will be talking about a miraculous meal “Silage", which could be helpful for our farmer friends as this meal is highly nutritious and it can provide with a great increment in the productivity.

Silage is a kind of fodder that is manufactured from green foliage crops by preserving these crops through fermentation. Now there are different kinds of silage produced which have different kind of nutritional factors but one thing which all of them have in common is that they all are highly nutritious and are guaranteed to provide an increment in productivity.

Let’s have a look at some of the best silages-

● Sugarcane silage- As the name suggests it is manufactured from sugarcane, it can be fed to cows, buffaloes, and bulls. If we talk about its nutritional values then it has a dry matter of 32%, C.P. of 7%, ADF of 30-40%, NDF of 40-60%, and 30-40% Sugar. Sugarcane silage is very easy to digest for the cattle.

● Corn silage- It is manufactured from corn by fermenting the crop. It is considered the best option for increasing the productivity of cattle as it is very high in energy and can be easily digested. It has very high nutritional values.

● Wheat silage- This is yet another kind of silage made out of wheat. It is also a high energy-providing protein-rich source of nutrition available at decent prices, it is very much similar to the alfalfa haylage also the wheat silage has a low fiber content so it’s easy to digest.

These were some of the best silages. Now some other important things about silages are –

They have quite a long shelf life, almost 18 months.

They are a kind of instant and ready to use product, which means you won’t need to do much hard work you have to just buy them open the packing, and feed them to your cattle.

While buying silage one should look for these qualities-

It should have less fiber content so that it’s easy for the cattle to digest.

Its packaging should be of good quality to ensure long shelf life.

These were some of the important things about silage which should be kept in mind while buying it. Now in the last, I would like to talk about one more marvelous thing, who is doing a fabulous job for the Indian farmers. Silage is a product which was innovated in Europe and Indian farmers didn’t have access to it earlier but now “Silage Agro" an agricultural products company based in Punjab has started making silage on European standards and is sailing it at affordable prices, with deliveries available all across the nation.
