Silage is a powerful method to address seasonal feed shortages and preserve the nutritional value of green, juicy forage. More importantly, it enhances palatability and nutrient availability, reduces the risk of digestive and parasitic diseases, and ultimately lowers veterinary costs. This makes silage an economically efficient option widely used in animal farming. When using professional microbial fermentation agents like Jinbao Silage Starter, the nutritional quality of the silage improves significantly, making it a key strategy in modern feed production.
In general, silage offers five major benefits:
1. **Minimal Nutrient Loss**: When green forage is properly ensiled, nutrient loss is typically around 10%. In contrast, air-dried forage can lose up to 30% of its nutrients due to continued respiration and decomposition. Rain, snow, or mold during drying can increase this loss even further. Studies show that silage corn stalks have 1 time higher quality, 4 times more crude fat, and 7.5 percentage points less crude fiber compared to air-dried ones. It also preserves vitamins much better.
2. **Improved Palatability**: After fermentation with a starter like Jinbao, silage develops a soft texture and a pleasant sour-sweet flavor, which most animals find appealing. This is especially beneficial for feeding poor-quality forages, where the improvement in taste and texture can be dramatic.
3. **High Volume Efficiency**: One cubic meter of silage weighs 450–700 kg, containing about 150 kg of dry matter. In comparison, one cubic meter of hay only weighs 70 kg and contains about 60 kg of dry matter. This high density makes silage easier to store and transport.
4. **Long Shelf Life**: Silage can be stored for 3–4 years, and in some cases, even up to 20 years. Unlike hay, which is prone to damage from pests, mold, and weather, silage remains stable and safe for long-term use.
5. **Health Benefits for Livestock**: Silage is rich in lactic acid, vitamins, and other essential nutrients, which help reduce digestive issues in animals. The fermentation process also kills parasites and their eggs, lowering the risk of internal parasitic infections. Additionally, some weed seeds lose viability during fermentation, reducing the spread of weeds through animal waste.
