Corn straw whole plant silage

The whole silage of corn stalks is a new method of saving labor, time, and convenience. 1. Digging pit: The silo should be selected where there is high topography, dryness, good drainage, hard soil, sheltered from the sun, no fecal field, and far from the barn. The size of the pit should be determined according to the amount of storage, generally can be dug 2 meters long, 2 meters wide, 2 meters deep, the bottom mouth is slightly smaller, the upper mouth of a large pit as a silo. After digging, lay a wide plastic sheet in the pit to keep it tight against the pit wall, and flatten the plastic sheet above the pit wall on the floor around the pit to prevent the dirt from falling into the pit. 2, the cellar: the corn stalks bundled into small bundles, to the root alignment, close to the pit wall is a reverse one positively arranged. Sprinkle a certain amount of urea on each floor, step-by-step step-by-step, and the corn stover can be installed 20-30 cm above the cellar wall. The silage corn stalks fed to cattle and sheep can be supplemented with urea, and the amount added should be about 0.3% of the total amount of corn stalks. Salt-enriched silage, which is eaten by all kinds of livestock, can be added to silage with 0.1% to 0.15% of the total amount of salt. 3, sealed cellar: After the corn stalks are full, the plastic wrap around the cellar will be wrapped around the silo from the center to the center. If the cover is not strong, take a plastic sheet and cover it with a plastic sheet. Then cover the plastic sheet with a layer of broken grass and cover it with 30 cm of wet soil to make a real shot. If there are cracks, it should be repaired in time. 4. Open Pit: After 45-60 days, you can open the pit to feed animals. When opening the cellar, it should be taken from the top to the bottom in a bundle, one layer at a time, and do not turn freely to prevent the air from entering the material and causing the silage to become moldy. The taken silage bales are chopped and ready for feeding. 5. Feeding: Silage cornstalks are green or yellow-green, have a strong acid and savory taste, soft texture, loose and moist. When feeding silage corn stalks at the beginning, the amount should be mixed with less or more concentrated feed or common feed. If diarrhea occurs, reduce the feed amount or pause for a few days before feeding. The feeding amount of silage should not exceed half of the total amount of rations, and the feeding amount of beef cattle or dairy cows can be appropriately increased, but it should not exceed 3/4 of the total amount of rations.
