Green storage is a commonly used feed processing method in animal husbandry, through the fresh green plants through anaerobic fermentation to make feed with sour smell, can effectively preserve the nutrients of plants, improve the utilization rate of feed. Although there are many ways to make green storage, the following is the easiest way to help you easily make green storage feed.
1. Prepare raw materials.
Fresh green plants, such as corn stalks, wheat stalks, rice straws, etc., are ideal raw materials for making green storage feed. In order to ensure the fermentation effect, these plants need to be cut into suitable lengths, generally 2-3 cm is appropriate. At the same time, in order to ensure the quality and safety of green silage feed, the following points need to be noted:
1.Choose healthy plants and avoid plants that are contaminated with pests, diseases, or pesticides. life
2.Avoid moldy or spoiled plants, which contain a lot of harmful microorganisms and toxins that pose a threat to animal health.
3.Avoid plants that contain a lot of nitrates, such as spinach, beets, etc., which produce large amounts of nitrite during fermentation, which can be harmful to animal health.
Second, the production process.
1.Put the prepared raw materials into a suitable container, such as a cement pool, soil pit, etc., with a capacity as needed.
2.Spread a layer of straw or wheat straw of about 10 cm at the bottom of the container, then a layer of raw materials, and another layer of straw or wheat straw until the container is full.
3.Cover the top of the container with a thick layer of straw or wheat straw and seal the container well to prevent air from entering.
4.Place the container in a dry, ventilated place and wait for fermentation.
5.During the fermentation process, the condition of the container needs to be checked regularly, and if there is a leak or water seepage, it needs to be dealt with promptly.
6.Generally speaking, the fermentation time is about 30 days, but the specific fermentation time depends on factors such as temperature, humidity and the quality of the raw materials. After fermentation, the quality of the feed can be judged by observing aspects such as its color, smell and taste. If the feed is dark brown, has a strong sour smell, and has a soft and juicy taste, it means that the fermentation is complete and of good quality.
7.Before using the green forage, it needs to be taken out and dried for a period of time to remove excess water and acidic odors. After drying, the animals can be fed directly.
3. Precautions.
1.When making green storage feed, it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene and quality to avoid problems such as contamination and mildew. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the nutritional composition of green storage feed according to the needs of different animals.
2.When using green storage feed, it is necessary to pay attention to the gradual transition to avoid problems such as indigestion in the animal. At the same time, the amount of feed used needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
3.If you want to improve the quality and safety of green forage feed, you can consider adding some beneficial microorganisms and enzymes. These substances can promote the digestion, absorption and utilization of plant fiber, and improve the nutritional value and utilization rate of feed. At the same time, it can also inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms and improve the safety of feed.
